Last updated: August 2026 dataDesigned for industrial further-processing operations, this provision covers skinned cod fillets packed in frozen blocks exceeding 4.5 kg each and imported specifically to be minced, ground, or cut into uniform-weight portions — the raw material for fish sticks, fish cakes, and similar value-added products. The end-use condition embedded in the tariff description means importers must be prepared to demonstrate the processing intent if CBP requests verification. FDA admissibility requirements, including prior notice and processor registration, apply regardless of the industrial end-use designation.

Yes. The processing-intent language is part of the tariff description, and CBP can request documentation — such as purchase orders, processing facility records, or affidavits — to confirm the imported blocks are destined for mincing, grinding, or uniform cutting. Importing under this line and then selling the blocks as retail fillets could result in reclassification and additional duties.
The threshold is 4.5 kg per block. Skinned frozen cod fillet blocks weighing over 4.5 kg each and destined for further processing fall under 0304711000. Fillets below that weight, or blocks not destined for mincing or uniform cutting, are classified under the other lines in heading 030471.
