Last updated: July 2026 dataFrozen fish fillets not covered by more specific headings span a wide range of species — from Atlantic ocean perch (rosefish) and orange roughy to mahi-mahi, pike, yellow perch, and a broad NESOI catch-all — making correct species-level classification the central challenge for importers. The US schedule subdivides this heading across seventeen 10-digit lines, distinguishing by species, skin-on vs. skinned presentation, block weight (over 4.5 kg intended for further processing), and freshwater vs. saltwater origin. Japan and Peru are the leading source countries, with Vietnam, Indonesia, and Canada also prominent suppliers. FDA's HACCP seafood program governs admissibility, and species identification on commercial invoices directly determines which 10-digit line applies.

Several 10-digit lines under 030489 — including 0304891025, 0304891030, 0304891035, and 0304891090 — apply specifically to skinned fillets frozen in blocks weighing over 4.5 kg each, intended to be minced, ground, or cut into uniform pieces. These industrial-processing blocks are classified separately from retail-style individual frozen fillets. Importers should confirm the block weight and intended end-use with their supplier before filing entry.
The US schedule treats Atlantic ocean perch (Sebastes marinus, also called rosefish) as a distinct species from other ocean perch. Line 0304895035 covers Atlantic ocean perch fillets frozen in non-block form, while 0304891025 covers the same species in skinned blocks over 4.5 kg for further processing. Non-Atlantic ocean perch fillets fall under 0304895040. Species identification on the commercial invoice is therefore essential to selecting the correct 10-digit line.
