Salted Pollock Roe from Germany

Salted pollock roe consists of fish eggs from Alaska pollock preserved in brine or dry salt for extended shelf life. Classified under HTS 0305.20.40 as 'other' roes that are salted, it differs from fresh roe in 0302 and is prized in Asian cuisines like Japanese ikura substitutes.

Import Tips

Provide lab analysis confirming salt content over 10% to distinguish from lightly brined fresh roe

Label clearly as 'salted roe' to prevent misclassification as caviar-style products under different subheadings

Ensure country-of-origin labeling, as pollock from Russia may face additional sanctions or quotas
