Turbot (Scophthalmus maximus), a premium flatfish distinct from Greenland turbot, is classified at 0302240000 and is primarily sourced from European aquaculture operations, with Spain and Portugal the leading US suppliers. Farmed turbot from Iberian facilities has become the dominant commercial form, as wild-caught North Sea turbot is subject to strict EU harvest quotas that limit export availability. The species commands high prices in upscale foodservice channels, making accurate species identification and cold-chain integrity especially important for importers. FDA Seafood HACCP and Prior Notice requirements apply.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
True turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) is a left-eyed flatfish of the family Scophthalmidae and is classified under 030224. Greenland halibut, sometimes marketed as 'Greenland turbot,' is a right-eyed flatfish (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) classified under 030221. The distinction must be made by scientific name on import documentation; using the common name 'turbot' alone is insufficient for correct classification.
No — heading 030224 does not subdivide by production method at the 10-digit level; both farmed and wild-caught turbot are classified under 0302240000. However, production method may be relevant for country-of-origin labeling and for any applicable aquaculture-specific regulations in the destination market.
