U.S. imports of fresh or chilled toothfish (dissostichus spp.) (HS 030283) totaled $414K in April 2026, traded with 1 country.
Toothfish — commercially marketed as Chilean sea bass — is among the most tightly regulated fish in international trade due to CITES Appendix II listing and the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) catch documentation scheme. Every shipment must be accompanied by a CCAMLR Catch Document certifying legal harvest before US Customs and Border Protection will allow entry, making documentation compliance a primary concern for importers. Peru is the leading supplier of fresh or chilled toothfish to the US market. Given the species' high per-unit value and strict traceability requirements, errors in catch documentation can result in seizure or refusal of entry; consultation with a licensed customs broker experienced in CCAMLR compliance is strongly recommended.

The CCAMLR Catch Document (CD) is an internationally agreed traceability instrument that tracks toothfish from harvest vessel through each trade transaction to the final importer. US law requires a valid CD for all Dissostichus spp. imports; shipments lacking a properly endorsed document are inadmissible regardless of other paperwork being in order.
Yes. Like all imported fresh fish, toothfish shipments require FDA prior notice submission before arrival at the US port of entry, in addition to the CCAMLR Catch Document. Importers must coordinate both filings to avoid delays, as FDA and CBP review them independently.
