U.S. imports of fresh or chilled fish, not elsewhere specified or included (whole, excluding fillets, livers & roes) (HS 030289) totaled $23.4M in July 2026, traded with 51 countries.
Importers of Fresh or Chilled Fish, Not Elsewhere Specified or Included (Whole, Excluding Fillets, Livers & Roes) paid $1.1M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $10.5M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataA broad residual heading, this category captures fresh or chilled whole fish not covered by more specific HS6 headings — including commercially significant species such as sablefish, monkfish, mahi-mahi, lingcod, grouper, snapper, ocean perch, and a range of freshwater species including pike perch, whitefish, and bass. The US schedule breaks this heading into more than twenty 10-digit tariff lines by species and size, including 0302891120 and 0302891140 for scaled fish under 6.8 kg, and dedicated lines for sablefish (0302893010), lingcod (0302893020), monkfish (0302894075), and mahi-mahi (0302895072), among others. Mexico and Ecuador are the leading US suppliers, reflecting Pacific and tropical species diversity. FDA seafood HACCP requirements govern all entries, and correct species identification at the 10-digit level is essential given the heading's granular US schedule.

The US schedule under 030289 assigns dedicated lines to specific species (e.g., sablefish, lingcod, monkfish, mahi-mahi, snapper, grouper) and uses weight thresholds (e.g., scaled fish under 6.8 kg) as additional breakpoints. Importers should first check whether the species has a named line; if not, the appropriate NESOI (not elsewhere specified or included) line applies. Commercial invoices must identify species by common and scientific name to support CBP classification review. Consulting a licensed customs broker familiar with seafood tariff schedules is advisable for novel or mixed-species shipments.
FDA requires that the importer of record maintain a seafood HACCP plan covering the imported product. Entry documentation should include a commercial invoice with species identification, country of origin, and net weight. For species subject to fishery management measures — such as sablefish under North Pacific groundfish regulations — catch certificates or vessel trip reports may be requested. Shipments from facilities on FDA import alert are subject to automatic detention and may require independent laboratory testing before release.
