Last updated: August 2026 dataFreshwater bass imported in whole or dressed form — fresh or chilled, not frozen — falls under this NESOI line when no more specific bass provision applies in the HTS schedule. The fresh/chilled distinction matters commercially because it limits shelf life and requires expedited customs clearance to preserve product quality. FDA oversight applies at entry, and importers should confirm species identity documentation to avoid misclassification against marine bass lines.

The distinction is biological and must be supported by species documentation — scientific name, catch certificate, or aquaculture records. Freshwater species such as largemouth or smallmouth bass belong here, while saltwater species like sea bass are classified under different HTS provisions. Consult a licensed customs broker if species origin is ambiguous.
The NESOI designation means this line captures freshwater bass not covered by a more specific provision. Duty rates apply at the line level, so confirming no enumerated species-specific line exists for the particular bass variety is a necessary classification step before filing entry.
