Turbot (*Psetta maxima*), a prized flatfish in European fine dining, is classified under 0302240000 when entered fresh or chilled in whole or dressed form, distinct from Greenland turbot (*Reinhardtius hippoglossoides*) which falls under a separate HTS line. Aquaculture production — primarily in Spain, Portugal, and China — has expanded the year-round availability of fresh turbot, supplementing wild-caught North Sea supply. FDA HACCP compliance governs US entry, and importers should note that the trade name 'turbot' is sometimes applied loosely to other flatfish species, making scientific name verification on entry documents essential to avoid misclassification.

The two species are classified under different 10-digit HTS lines: true turbot (*Psetta maxima*) under 0302240000, and Greenland turbot/halibut (*Reinhardtius hippoglossoides*) under 0302210090. Commercial invoices and packing lists should include the Latin scientific name to ensure the correct line is declared and to satisfy FDA's seafood labeling requirements.
Yes. Farmed turbot, produced primarily in Southern Europe and China, is available year-round and has reduced the seasonal supply constraints associated with wild-caught North Sea turbot. However, farmed and wild-caught product may differ in fat content and texture, which can affect buyer specifications in premium foodservice channels.
