Last updated: July 2026 dataToothfish — marketed commercially as Chilean sea bass — traded fresh or chilled in whole or dressed form enters under a single US tariff line (0302830000), with Peru as the leading supplier. The fishery is tightly regulated under the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), and the US Dissostichus Catch Document Scheme (DCDS) requires a validated catch document accompanying every shipment to verify legal harvest. Importers must present a complete DCDS documentation chain at entry; shipments lacking valid catch documents are subject to refusal of entry.

8 shipments/mo
Every shipment of toothfish must be accompanied by a validated Dissostichus Catch Document (DCD) under the CCAMLR Catch Documentation Scheme. The DCD must trace the fish from the harvesting vessel through each point of trade to the US importer. NOAA enforces this requirement, and shipments without a complete, authenticated document chain will be refused entry.
Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) ranges into the South Pacific off the coasts of Peru and Chile, giving Peruvian-flagged vessels legal access to the stock under CCAMLR quota allocations. Peru's proximity to the US West Coast also supports the cold-chain logistics needed to deliver the fish fresh rather than frozen.
