Fish Fins & Other Edible Offal, Smoked, Dried, Salted or in Brine (NESOI)

U.S. imports of fish fins & other edible offal, smoked, dried, salted or in brine (nesoi) (HS 030579) totaled $0 in April 2026, traded with 1 country.

Last updated: April 2026 data

Dried, salted, smoked, or brined fish fins and other edible offal not elsewhere specified occupy a specialized niche driven largely by demand for shark fins and similar products in Asian culinary traditions. The heading consolidates into a single 10-digit line (0305790000), but classification decisions hinge on confirming that the product is both edible and not covered by a more specific subheading. Vietnam and South Korea lead US import supply, followed by New Zealand and China. Shark fin imports are subject to additional scrutiny: the Shark Conservation Act and various state-level bans may restrict trade in shark fins regardless of HTS classification, and importers should confirm both federal and destination-state compliance before entry.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do US shark fin regulations interact with HTS classification under this heading?

While shark fins that are dried, salted, or smoked are classifiable under 0305790000 for tariff purposes, importers must also comply with the Shark Conservation Act, which requires that sharks be landed with fins naturally attached. Additionally, a growing number of US states have enacted outright bans on the sale and trade of shark fins, which can effectively prohibit distribution even after a shipment clears federal customs. Importers should conduct a state-by-state compliance review before committing to a transaction.

What distinguishes 'edible offal' under this heading from fish parts classified elsewhere?

Heading 030579 covers fish fins and other edible offal — such as livers, roes, and similar parts — that are smoked, dried, salted, or in brine and are not captured by a more specific HS subheading. Fish roes and livers prepared or preserved in other ways may fall under Chapter 16, while fresh or frozen offal is classified in earlier subheadings of Chapter 3. The 'edible' qualifier also excludes non-food industrial fish byproducts, which are classified elsewhere.
