Last updated: August 2026 dataDried, unsalted or salted fish that has not been smoked and does not fall under a more specific HTS provision enters under 0305590001, a residual "not elsewhere specified or included" line that captures a wide range of species and drying methods. USDA FSIS does not govern fish; instead, FDA oversees imported seafood under its seafood HACCP program, and all shipments must comply with FDA admissibility requirements, including prior notice of import. The "NESOI" designation means importers must confirm that the specific species and preparation method are not more precisely classified elsewhere in heading 0305 before using this line. Species identity, moisture content, and salt level are the key technical variables that customs brokers and compliance teams should document.

FDA regulates imported dried fish under its seafood HACCP program. Importers must submit prior notice of arrival and ensure the foreign processor operates under an adequate HACCP plan. USDA FSIS does not have jurisdiction over fish products.
'Not elsewhere specified or included' means this line is a catch-all for dried, non-smoked fish that does not fit a more specific provision in heading 0305. Importers must review all other subheadings — covering specific species such as cod, tilapia, or shark — before defaulting to this residual line, as misclassification can affect duty rates and quota eligibility.
