Fresh or Chilled Anchovies

Yes. Fresh or chilled fish imported into the US are subject to FDA admissibility review under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Importers should ensure shipments originate from facilities with appropriate food-safety controls and be prepared for FDA examination or sampling. Consult a licensed customs broker or FDA-registered agent for entry procedures.

Tariff line 0302420000 covers whole or dressed anchovies, fresh or chilled, but explicitly excludes fillets, livers, and roes. Anchovy fillets and roe are classified under separate headings, so the form of the product at time of importation determines the correct classification.
