U.S. imports of Fresh or Chilled Salmonidae (Excluding Livers and Roes) (SITC 03412) totaled $132.9M in August 2026, imported from 21 countries.
Importers of Fresh or Chilled Salmonidae (Excluding Livers and Roes) paid $7.5M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 5.65% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataAtlantic salmon, Pacific salmon, trout, and related salmonids shipped fresh or chilled — rather than frozen — occupy a premium market tier prized by foodservice and retail buyers for texture and shelf life. All imports enter under USDA FSIS oversight, requiring origin from an approved foreign establishment and port-of-entry reinspection. Cold-chain integrity is especially critical for this heading because the narrow temperature window between fresh and spoiled compresses transit times and concentrates supply from geographically proximate or air-freight-capable origins.

Country-of-origin labeling (COOL) rules apply to fresh and chilled fish at retail. Labels must identify the country of harvest and, for farmed fish, whether the product is farm-raised or wild-caught. Importers and distributors should ensure documentation supports accurate COOL declarations throughout the supply chain.
Fresh/chilled and frozen salmonids are classified under separate SITC and HTS headings, and the applicable duty rates can differ. Importers should confirm the correct thermal-state classification at the time of entry, as misclassification between fresh/chilled and frozen can trigger liquidation adjustments or penalties.
