Last updated: May 2026 dataTurbot, covering the species Psetta maxima and the broader Scophthalmidae family, is a premium flatfish traded frozen under a single US tariff line (0303340000), excluding fillets, livers, and roes. Farmed turbot from aquaculture operations — particularly in Europe and Asia — has expanded the commercial supply of this historically wild-caught species, and origin documentation distinguishing wild-caught from aquaculture product can be relevant for certain market certifications. FDA seafood HACCP requirements govern entry, and importers of farmed turbot should verify that the foreign establishment appears on FDA's approved aquaculture product list where applicable. The Scophthalmidae family scope means brill and related species may require careful species verification to confirm correct classification here versus other flatfish headings.

The heading's scope references Psetta maxima and the Scophthalmidae family, which includes brill (Scophthalmus rhombus). However, classification of a specific species should be confirmed against current CBP guidance and the Harmonized System explanatory notes, as family-level scope can be interpreted narrowly. Consulting a licensed customs broker is advisable when the species is not Psetta maxima itself.
Both wild-caught and farmed turbot fall under the same HTS provision, but farmed product may require additional documentation such as aquaculture facility registration or health certificates depending on the country of origin. Some certification schemes (e.g., organic or sustainability labels) also require chain-of-custody records that distinguish production method.
