Last updated: July 2026 dataFrozen whole anchovies — a small pelagic species traded in bulk for both direct consumption and reduction into fishmeal and fish oil — enter the US under a single 10-digit line (0303590000) that also captures other frozen fish excluding fillets, livers, and roes, but not herrings. Vietnam leads supply, followed by Mexico and Taiwan, reflecting the species' broad Indo-Pacific and Eastern Pacific harvest range. Importers should note that all seafood shipments require FDA prior notice and are subject to FSIS or FDA admissibility review depending on the product's end use and processing status. Classification hinges on the whole-fish form; anchovy fillets or cured anchovy products fall under separate headings.

Frozen whole anchovies (excluding livers and roes) classify under HS 030359, while anchovy fillets fall under the frozen fish fillet headings (HS 0304), and cured, salted, or canned anchovies move under Chapter 16 or the preserved-fish provisions of Chapter 3. The form of the fish at time of importation — whole, filleted, or further processed — is the primary classification determinant.
Frozen anchovies are regulated by the FDA as a seafood product. Importers must submit prior notice before arrival, and the foreign facility must be registered with FDA. Shipments may be subject to automatic detention if the exporting country or establishment has a history of violations. Consulting a licensed customs broker and reviewing FDA's OASIS system for any existing import alerts on the supplier is strongly recommended.
