The quantity of edible imports was 2,441,516 metric tons, an increase of 14,648 tons (0.6 percent) from the quantity imported in 2011. The volume of shrimp imported in 2012 was 533,495 tons, a decrease of 41,615 tons, or 7.2 percent, from the quantity imported in 2011. Valued at $4.5 billion, shrimp imports accounted for 27 percent of the value of total edible imports. Imports of fresh and frozen salmon were 268,237 tons valued at $1.9 billion in 2012. Imports of fresh and frozen tuna were 163,063 tons, 3,375 tons more than imported in 2011. The value of fresh and frozen tuna imports increased by 44.4 percent to $1.1 billion. Imports of canned tuna were 160,485 tons, a decrease of 26,848 tons from 2011, and the value of canned tuna imports increased 5.8 percent to $761 million. Imports of all fresh and frozen fillets and steaks amounted to 666,260 tons, an increase of 44,507 tons from 2011. Total edible imports consisted of: 2,052,008 tons of fresh and frozen products valued at $14.3 billion; 310,964 tons of canned products valued at $1.9 billion; 42,502 tons of cured products valued at $300 million;2,610 tons of caviar and roe products valued at $33 million; and 33,432 tons of other products valued at $178 million. Imports of nonedible fishery products were valued at $14.4 billion, $242 million more than in 2011. Total value of edible and nonedible fishery imports was $31.1 billion in 2012, $311 million more than in 2011. EXPORTS U.S. exports of edible fishery products of domestic origin in 2012 were 1,425,591 tons valued at $5.12 billion, compared with 1,435,349 tons valued at $5.13 billion exported in 2011. Exports of fresh and frozen items were 1,295,347 tons valued at $4.3 billion, an increase of 2,663 tons and an increase in value of $10 million compared with 2011. Fresh and frozen exports consisted principally of 121,984 tons of salmon valued at $414.39 million, 46,715 tons of lobster (Homarus spp.) valued at $442.8 million, and 158,021 tons of surimi valued at $414.3 million. Exported canned items totaled 58,046 tons valued at $279.9 million. Salmon was the major canned item exported, with 41,137 tons valued at $221.7 million. Cured items accounted for 4,712 tons of exports valued at $18.6 million. Caviar and roe exports were 40,092 tons valued at $395,296 million. Other edible products accounted for 27,394 tons valued at $98.2 million. Exports of nonedible products were valued at $17.2 billion. Exports of fish meal amounted to 141,982 tons valued at $142.1 million. The total value of edible and nonedible exports was $22.3 billion, $117 mllion more than in 2011. Effective in 2012 substantial changes were made to the fishery product sections of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) and sub- sequently the Schedule B: Statistical Classification of Domestic and Foreign Commodities Exported from the United States. Because the classifications and groupings used in this Annual Trade Report are based on the HTS and Schedule B, many of the groups used in this report were revised for 2012. Because of this revision some products have moved to different categories. For example a product that had previously been included in an “unclassified” or “other” group my now be broken out into its own category. As a result a value for trade may be shown in the 2012 column with no corresponding value in the 2011 column. This does not necessarily mean that there was no trade in that product in 2011, simply that for 2011 the product may have been reported in a different category. Similarly, groups where products were removed may appear to show a dramatic drop in trade as an artifact of this reclassification. Caution should be exercised when making 2011 to 2012 comparisons. The categories that are most affected by these category changes are marked by footnote (4). Values for total imports, exports and re-exports remain consistent and comparable between years.

Effective in 2012 substantial changes were made to the fishery product sections of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) and sub-sequently the Schedule B: Statistical Classification of Domestic and Foreign Commodities Exported from the United States. Because the classifications and groupings used in this Annual Trade Report are based on the HTS and Schedule B, many of the groups used in this report were revised for 2012.Because of this revision some products have moved to different categories. For example a product that had previously been included in an “unclassified” or “other” group my now be broken out into its own category. As a result a value for trade may be shown in the 2012 column with no corresponding value in the 2011 column. This does not necessarily mean that there was no trade in that product in 2011, simply that for 2011 the product may have been reported in a different category. Similarly, groups where products were removed may appear to show a dramatic drop in trade as an artifact of this reclassification. Caution should be exercised when making 2011 to 2012 comparisons. The categories that are most affected by these category changes are marked by footnote (4).Values for total imports, exports and re-exports remain consistent and comparable between years.
NOTES:Unless otherwise noted, the information presented is based on U.S. Census Bureau data for the Customs territory of the United States. The territory includes the 50 states, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.Imports for consumption are a combination of entries into the U.S. for immediate consumption and withdrawals from Customs bonded warehouses for consumption. These data reflect the actual entry into U.S. consumption channels of commodities that originated outside the United States.Exports may include merchandise of both domestic and foreign origin. Census defines exports of “domestic” merchandise to include commodities, which are grown, produced, or manufactured in the United States. For statistical purposes, domestic exports also include commodities of foreign origin which have been changed in the U.S. from the form in which they were imported, or which have been enhanced in value by further manufacture in the United States.Re-exports of “foreign” products are commodities which have entered the U.S. as imports and not sold, which, at the time of re-export, are in substantially the same condition as when imported. Items imported for sale in the U.S. but later resold overseas, however, are recorded as exports of domestic goods rather than as re-exports.A product of foreign origin is transformed into a domestic good when the imported item loses its foreign identity through further sub-stantial manufacture. This transformation generally produces a good with a different trade classification. For example, fish sticks cut from imported fish blocks, when exported to a foreign country, are classified as domestic for statistical purposes.The value of imports presented is the “Customs value.” It is based on the value of the product in the country of origin as appraised by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and excludes import duties, freight, insurance, and other charges incurred in bringing it to the United States. Export and re-export value is equivalent to f.a.s. (free alongside ship) at the port of export, based on the transaction price, including freight, insurance, and other charges incurred in placing the merchandise alongside the carrier. The value excludes the cost of loading, freight and subsequent insurance.

RE-EXPORTSU.S. exports of edible fishery products of foreign origin were 49,053 tons valued at $347.2 million, compared to 44,334 tons valued at $303.6 million re-exported in 2011. Fresh and frozen items were 43,743 tons valued at $306.4 million. This reflects increases of 3,569 tons and $34.9 million compared with 2011. Shrimp (2,538 tons valued at $26.0 million), salmon (10,668 tons valued at $82.6 million), crabs (786 tons valued at $13.8 million) and tuna (2,811 tons valued at $13.4 million) were the principle fresh and frozen products re-exported. Canned items accounted for 2,534 tons valued at 14.0 million. Cured products were 463 tons valued at $5.8 million. Caviar and roe re-exports were 579 tons valued at $8.3 million. Other edible products were 1,734 tons valued at $12.8 million.Re-exports of nonedible fishery products were valued at $4.5 billion. Fish oils accounted for 3,855 tons valued at $15.1 million. The total value of edible and nonedible re-exports was $4.8 billion, $1.1 billion more than in 2011.
