Fish Fillets and Other Fish Meat, Fresh, Chilled, or Frozen

The three main variables are: (1) fish species, which drives the initial subheading selection; (2) temperature state — fresh or chilled versus frozen; and (3) product form — whole fillets versus minced fish meat. Some subheadings further distinguish by whether the fillet is skinned or bone-in. Importers should confirm all three variables on commercial invoices to support accurate classification.

Yes, certain fish fillet products — most notably frozen fish fillets from specific countries — have been subject to antidumping duty orders. Importers should check the current scope of any active antidumping or countervailing duty orders with the International Trade Administration and CBP before importing, as scope determinations can be product- and origin-specific within this broad chapter.
