Frozen Toothfish (Non-Fillet) — Chilean Sea Bass

U.S. imports of frozen toothfish (non-fillet) — chilean sea bass (HS 030492) totaled $5K in April 2026, traded with 4 countries.

Last updated: April 2026 data

Frozen toothfish (Dissostichus spp.) in non-fillet forms — including headed-and-gutted, dressed, or other meat cuts — packed in bulk containers greater than 6.8 kg (line 0304921000) or in other presentations (line 0304920000) are classified here, separate from the fillet heading 030485. Chile and Australia are the primary US suppliers, with the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) also a notable source given its proximity to key toothfish grounds. Like toothfish fillets, all non-fillet forms require a validated CCAMLR Dissostichus Catch Document; the bulk-pack format is common for further processing by US seafood manufacturers. FDA prior notice is required; consult a licensed customs broker familiar with NOAA fisheries documentation requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the CCAMLR Dissostichus Catch Document requirement apply to non-fillet toothfish forms as well as fillets?

Yes. The US Dissostichus Catch Document program administered by NOAA applies to all forms of toothfish — fillets, steaks, headed-and-gutted, and other meat — regardless of the HTS heading. The DCD must accompany every shipment and be validated by the flag state of the harvesting vessel; this requirement is not limited to fillet presentations.

How should importers handle toothfish shipments originating from the Falkland Islands for country-of-origin purposes?

The Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) is a British Overseas Territory, and its toothfish exports carry UK/Falkland Islands origin documentation. Importers should ensure the country of origin on CBP entry documents matches the flag state and catch area on the CCAMLR DCD. Any discrepancy between the DCD's fishing area and the declared origin can trigger CBP or NOAA scrutiny.
