Last updated: April 2026 dataA broad residual heading, 030289 captures commercially significant species — including sablefish, monkfish, lingcod, grouper, snapper, mahi-mahi, and freshwater varieties such as pickerel and pike perch — that do not fall under more specific HS6 headings. Mexico and Ecuador lead US supply, reflecting proximity and robust Pacific fisheries, with Canada rounding out the top three. The heading's 22 active 10-digit lines require careful species-level classification, as misidentification between, for example, sablefish (0302891120 / 0302893010 / 0302895052) and other marine fish can trigger reclassification at entry. FDA prior notice and seafood HACCP compliance apply to all shipments.

The US schedule separates sablefish by presentation and weight: 0302891120 covers scaled sablefish under 6.8 kg, 0302893010 covers other whole sablefish presentations, and 0302895052 is a residual sablefish line. Importers must match the specific presentation — scaled vs. unscaled, weight threshold — to the correct line to avoid reclassification.
CBP may request species-specific commercial invoices, catch certificates, or aquaculture origin documentation to verify whether a fish is freshwater or marine, as the tariff lines differ. For wild-caught product, a fishing vessel's logbook or a flag-state catch certificate can serve as supporting evidence. Consulting a licensed customs broker familiar with seafood classification is recommended.
