November 17, 2025 — The following was released by the National Fisheries Institute:
The National Fisheries Institute (NFI) applauds the Administration for moving to ease tariffs on some foods. While seafood is the healthiest animal protein on the planet, rising costs have put it out of reach for many families. We urge the President to include all seafood in tariff adjustments. This is critical to lowering consumer prices, maintaining American jobs in the seafood sector and keeping Americans healthy and fed.
Additionally, NFI appreciates the Administration’s success in continuing to expand markets for American seafood globally.
The plan to improve access for high quality U.S. seafood products through the application of zero duties in both Switzerland and Liechtenstein will have a positive impact on American companies and is in lockstep with the roadmap laid out in the President’s executive order regarding seafood competitiveness and economic growth.
NFI supports efforts to strengthen cooperation in global seafood trade and make America’s seafood community stronger.
