The U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries) is informing the trade community that the U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) codes flagged for permit and reporting requirements under one or more of the trade monitoring programs are being updated to include additional HTS codes. NOAA Fisheries trade programs affected by this update are the Antarctic Marine Living Resources Program (AMLR), the Seafood Import Monitoring Program (SIM), and the Tuna Tracking and Verification Program (370). Customs and Border Protection will begin flagging the new or revised HTS codes on July 1, 2026.  

The addition of these HTS codes is to address imports of fish and fish products of species listed by one or more of the trade monitoring programs. Additionally, NOAA Fisheries is updating one HTS code under AMLR due to U.S. International Trade Commission revisions.   

Entries using one of the newly added or updated USHTS Codes will be subject to all permitting, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements associated with the trade monitoring program/s (SIM, 370, AMLR) for which it is listed.  

Please see the consolidated list of HTS codes flagged for NOAA Fisheries trade programs here: www.fisheries.noaa.gov/resource/outreach-materials/harmonized-tariff-codes-seafood-trade-monitoring-programs.
