What HS 0303.67 covers

This code covers frozen whole or cut (non-fillet) Alaska pollock, a species of immense importance in the global seafood industry. Alaska pollock is the largest single-species fishery in the world by volume, primarily used for surimi, fish sticks, and various processed seafood products. Importers are typically large-scale seafood processors, food manufacturers, and distributors who require vast quantities of this versatile whitefish. Exporters are predominantly the USA (Alaska) and Russia, which control the vast majority of the global catch. Key aspects of this trade include highly efficient, large-scale fishing and processing operations, stringent quality control for surimi production, and adherence to strict sustainability quotas. The non-filleted form is often traded for further processing into blocks or surimi base.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
