Fresh or Chilled Turbot (Psetta maxima)

Turbot (Psetta maxima) has its own dedicated HS6 heading (030224) and a single 10-digit line (0302240000), separating it from other flatfish species grouped under headings 030221–030229. Correct species identification on the commercial invoice and entry documentation is essential to avoid misclassification into the broader 'flatfish NESOI' category.

Importers must file an FDA Prior Notice for all imported seafood, and the shipment is subject to FDA admissibility review. Commercial invoices should clearly identify the species by scientific name (Psetta maxima) and the product form (whole or dressed, excluding fillets). Consult a licensed customs broker to ensure full compliance with FDA and CBP entry requirements.
