Skinned frozen blocks exceeding 4.5 kg of fillets from the cod-order families — excluding the specifically enumerated pollock and whiting lines — fall to this residual line when destined for mincing, grinding, or uniform portioning. Species such as Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus), or Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) in industrial block format would typically be classified here if they meet the weight and processing-intent criteria. Accurate species identification is critical, as several gadoid species carry distinct commercial values and may be subject to SIMP reporting. FDA prior notice is required for all seafood imports.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus), and haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) in skinned frozen block format over 4.5 kg are the most commercially significant species likely to be classified here, since pollock and Merluccius whiting have their own dedicated lines. Importers should confirm species identity on all documentation, as cod and haddock carry separate SIMP reporting obligations.
Mixed-species blocks present a classification challenge: if the species cannot be individually identified and segregated, the shipment may need to be classified based on the predominant species by weight, or under the most applicable NESOI line. CBP may require laboratory analysis or detailed supplier certification to resolve species composition disputes, so importers should request species-segregated packing lists and certificates of origin from suppliers before shipment.
