Last updated: April 2026 dataHeading 030479 is a residual catch-all for frozen fillets of cod-order families — including Bregmacerotidae, Euclichthyidae, Gadidae, Macrouridae, Melanonidae, Merlucciidae, and Moridae — not specifically enumerated elsewhere in the schedule. In practice, whiting and certain pollock species not meeting the Alaska pollock or coalfish definitions are the most commercially significant products here, with dedicated lines for skinned frozen blocks of pollock (0304791010) and whiting (0304791015). Argentina and Chile lead US supply, reflecting their active Merlucciidae and whiting fisheries in the Southwest Atlantic and Southeast Pacific.

Whiting (Merlangius merlangus and related species) and certain pollock species not classified as Alaska pollock or coalfish are the most commercially significant products under this residual heading. The US schedule provides specific lines for skinned frozen blocks of pollock (0304791010) and whiting (0304791015), while 0304791090 and 0304795000 capture other species in the covered families. Importers should confirm species identity and pack format to select the correct 10-digit line.
Classification priority runs from the more specific to the residual: if the species is cod (Gadus spp.), it belongs under 030471; if it is Alaska pollock (Theragra chalcogramma), under 030475; if it is haddock, hake, or coalfish, under their respective headings. Only frozen fillets of species within the listed families that do not fit a named heading fall to 030479. A licensed customs broker and the CBP CROSS ruling database are the best resources for borderline species classifications.
