Last updated: August 2026 dataSold in premium foodservice channels as Chilean sea bass, Dissostichus spp. in frozen whole or dressed form enters under this single 10-digit line, which excludes fillets, livers, and roes. The CCAMLR Catch Document and NOAA SIMP electronic filing are both mandatory at entry, making this one of the most documentation-intensive frozen fish classifications in the US tariff schedule. South Korea and Argentina lead supply, reflecting their active licensed toothfish fleets in the Southern Ocean. Admissibility is complex; consult a licensed customs broker and verify CCAMLR documentation before shipment.

No — both Dissostichus eleginoides (Patagonian toothfish) and Dissostichus mawsoni (Antarctic toothfish) are classified under 0303830000 when frozen and in whole or dressed form. The distinction matters for CCAMLR quota tracking and catch documentation, but not for US tariff classification purposes.
South Korea operates a licensed toothfish fleet in CCAMLR-managed waters and has established cold-chain and processing infrastructure that supports export to the US market. Korean-origin product typically arrives as whole or dressed frozen fish destined for further processing or direct foodservice distribution.
