Last updated: August 2026 dataSkinned fish fillets of any species not covered by a more specific line, frozen in blocks exceeding 4.5 kg each and intended for mincing, grinding, or cutting into uniform portions, are classified under 0304891090. This broad residual line serves industrial seafood processors — supplying fish stick, surimi, and portion-control operations — and its NESOI character means it applies only after ruling out all named-species block lines in the heading. FDA HACCP seafood requirements govern admissibility. The combination of species identity, skin-off presentation, block weight, and processing intent must all be documented to support classification here.

The fillet must be (1) skinned, (2) frozen in a block format, (3) with each block weighing over 4.5 kg, and (4) intended to be minced, ground, or cut into pieces of uniform weight and dimensions. Additionally, the species must not match any of the named-species lines in the heading — it is a true NESOI residual. All four conditions should be verifiable from commercial invoices and packing lists.
Each species in a mixed shipment should be assessed individually against the named-species lines before defaulting to 0304891090. If a block contains a single species that matches a named line, it must be classified there. Mixed-species blocks with no single named species may qualify for the NESOI line, but the importer should document the species composition and consult a licensed customs broker to confirm the classification approach.
