Last updated: April 2026 dataNorway and Chile are the primary suppliers of fresh and chilled trout fillets to the US market, both leveraging cold-water aquaculture of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) — a species that straddles the commercial boundary between trout and salmon and is sometimes marketed as 'salmon trout.' All imports enter under tariff line 0304420000 and require FDA prior notice and seafood HACCP compliance. Importers should be aware that rainbow trout farmed in seawater and marketed as salmon trout may face classification scrutiny, as CBP has historically examined whether such product belongs under the trout or salmon fillet provisions based on species rather than marketing name.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Classification is based on species, not commercial name. Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) classifies under the trout fillet heading regardless of how it is marketed. Only fillets of true Atlantic, Pacific, or Danube salmon species belong under the salmon fillet provisions. Importers should ensure invoices state the scientific name to avoid reclassification disputes.
Importers should retain temperature logs from the processing facility through air transport, along with the exporter's HACCP plan and any health certificates required by the country of origin. FDA may request these records during admissibility review. Given that chilled trout fillets have a limited shelf life, pre-filing of FDA prior notice well before aircraft arrival is strongly recommended.
