U.S. imports of fish fillets, fresh or chilled, nesoi (HS 030449) totaled $11.2M in April 2026, traded with 28 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataServing as the catch-all heading for fresh and chilled fish fillets not classified elsewhere, this heading spans a wide range of species โ from freshwater pickerel and whitefish (0304490106, 0304490109) to tilapia (0304490112), Atlantic Ocean perch (0304490120), and cusk (0304490125) โ making precise species identification on commercial invoices essential to landing in the correct 10-digit line. Canada and Mexico are the dominant suppliers, benefiting from geographic proximity and integrated North American cold-chain logistics under USMCA. FDA Prior Notice is required for all fish fillet shipments, and country-of-origin labeling obligations apply at retail. The breadth of species covered means classification disputes are common, particularly for lesser-known saltwater species that may fall into the residual line 0304490190.

A fillet is classified into a named species line (e.g., 0304490106 for pickerel, 0304490112 for tilapia) only when the species matches exactly. Any fresh or chilled saltwater fillet not specifically enumerated โ including many tropical reef fish โ defaults to the residual line 0304490190. Accurate species identification on the commercial invoice and packing list is the key to avoiding reclassification at entry.
Canada and Mexico are the leading suppliers under this heading, and goods meeting USMCA rules of origin may qualify for preferential tariff treatment. Importers should obtain a valid USMCA certification of origin from the exporter and verify that the product meets the applicable tariff-shift rule before claiming the preference.
