Last updated: April 2026 dataEdible fish offal — including fins, heads, tails, and similar byproducts — enters the US under a single tariff line, 0303990000, covering frozen forms not elsewhere specified. The United Kingdom and Japan are the leading suppliers, with China and Canada also active, reflecting demand from ethnic food markets and the foodservice sector where fish heads and collars carry significant culinary value. FDA prior notice and seafood HACCP compliance apply at entry; importers should ensure that commercial invoices clearly describe the specific offal type, as customs may scrutinize whether product is edible versus non-edible (the latter classifying outside Chapter 03). Classification as 'edible' offal requires that the product be fit for human consumption.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The heading applies only to offal that is fit for human consumption. Fish heads, collars, tails, and fins presented and documented as food products qualify. Non-edible fish waste or material destined for fishmeal or industrial use classifies outside Chapter 03. Documentation from the exporter confirming food-grade status supports correct classification and FDA admissibility.
Dried or processed fish maws may classify elsewhere depending on their form and intended use. Frozen edible swim bladders could fall under 0303990000 as other edible fish offal, but the specific preparation and end use should be reviewed carefully. A CBP binding ruling is advisable for high-value or high-volume shipments of this product.
