This NESOI line extends coverage to fresh or chilled Alaska pollock presentations that fall outside the preceding line, explicitly excluding not only livers, roes, and fillets but also fish meat of the kind described in heading 0304. The broader exclusion language signals that this line is designed to capture dressed or otherwise prepared whole-fish forms that might otherwise create classification ambiguity with the fish-meat heading. Given Alaska pollock's industrial significance — it is the primary raw material for surimi and fast-food fish portions — precise classification of non-fillet, non-surimi fresh forms is commercially relevant for processors and importers alike. FDA seafood HACCP and Prior Notice requirements apply.

Product presentations such as headed-and-gutted pollock or other dressed forms that do not constitute fillets or fish meat under heading 0304 may fall here depending on how the tariff schedule notes delineate the two lines. Importers with non-standard presentations should seek a CBP binding ruling to confirm the correct line before filing entry.
Minced pollock flesh and fish blocks intended for surimi or fish portions typically classify under heading 0304 as fish meat, not here. The exclusion language in this line reinforces that boundary. Fresh or chilled minced pollock should be evaluated against heading 0304 criteria first; only product that does not meet those criteria would remain in this NESOI line.
