U.S. exports of Fish Fillets, Fresh or Chilled (NESOI) (HS 0304490100) totaled $237K in August 2026, exported to 24 countries.
Last updated: August 2026 dataAt the 10-digit level, 0304490100 functions as a broad residual line for fresh or chilled fish fillets not enumerated in the more specific lines within heading 030449. Because this line sits alongside named-species provisions covering tilapia, pickerel, whitefish, ocean perch, and cusk, classification here should only occur after confirming the species does not match any of those dedicated subheadings. FDA seafood HACCP compliance and country-of-origin labeling requirements apply, and importers should document the species identity carefully to support the NESOI classification.

Classifying under the NESOI line when a named-species subheading applies constitutes a misclassification that can result in CBP liquidation adjustments, penalties, and potential prior disclosure obligations. For example, tilapia fillets must go to 0304490112 and Atlantic ocean perch to 0304490120. Importers should always verify the species against all named lines in heading 030449 before defaulting to the NESOI provision.
A commercial invoice or packing list stating the fish's scientific name, combined with a processor's species identification certificate or a fishery catch document, provides the strongest basis for an NESOI classification. If CBP questions the classification, having the scientific name on record demonstrates that the importer actively confirmed the species did not match any named subheading, which supports good-faith compliance and reduces penalty exposure.
