Last updated: July 2026 dataFrozen hake — primarily species of the genus Merluccius — is a commercially significant whitefish traded in whole and dressed form, distinct from frozen hake fillets classified separately. South American fisheries, particularly those of Argentina and Chile, are among the world's leading sources of Merluccius hake, and their exports are subject to FDA admissibility review upon US entry. Buyers should confirm that species documentation specifies the Merluccius species, as other fish are sometimes marketed under the 'hake' common name, which can create labeling compliance issues.

A commercial invoice with the scientific species name (e.g., Merluccius hubbsi for Argentine hake), country of origin, fishing vessel or aquaculture source, and a HACCP compliance statement from the foreign processor are standard requirements. If the species falls under NOAA's Seafood Import Monitoring Program, harvest and chain-of-custody records must also be filed electronically at entry.
Frozen whole or dressed hake — where the flesh remains on the bone — falls under this heading, while hake that has been filleted is classified under the frozen fish fillets heading. The processing state at the time of export determines the correct classification, and misclassification between the two forms can result in duty discrepancies and potential customs penalties.
