Frozen Turbot (Psetta maxima)

Turbot (Psetta maxima, family Scophthalmidae) is a high-value flatfish prized in European and Asian fine-dining markets, and the single US tariff line 0303340000 covers whole or dressed frozen turbot excluding fillets, livers, and roe. Spain dominates US supply, reflecting its well-established Atlantic and Mediterranean aquaculture operations, while China contributes farmed product. All frozen fish imports are subject to FDA entry review, and seafood importers should verify that foreign processors hold current FDA facility registrations and comply with HACCP requirements under the Seafood Safety regulation.
