What HS 0302.13 covers
This HS code specifically covers whole fresh or chilled Pacific salmon species, excluding fillets, fish meat, and edible offal. Pacific salmon, including varieties like Sockeye, Pink, Chum, Chinook, and Coho, are highly valued globally for their distinct flavor and nutritional benefits. The trade in fresh or chilled whole Pacific salmon is driven by both wild-caught fisheries, particularly in Alaska and British Columbia, and increasingly by aquaculture operations. Exporters are predominantly countries with significant Pacific salmon populations or farming capabilities, while importers are found worldwide, especially in markets with a strong demand for premium seafood. Maintaining the cold chain is paramount to preserve quality and extend shelf life during international transit. Food safety standards, sustainability certifications (e.g., MSC for wild-caught), and traceability are critical factors influencing market access and consumer trust in this high-value commodity.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
