Last updated: August 2026 dataA broad residual catch-all, this line covers freshwater fish imported fresh or chilled in whole or dressed form that do not fit any named species provision in the HTS — after perch, bass, whitefish, smelts, and other enumerated freshwater species have been classified elsewhere. Because it is a true NESOI line, the classification analysis must confirm that no more specific provision applies before using it. FDA entry review governs all fish imports, and species identification records are particularly important here given the line's residual nature.

Because this is an NESOI provision, importers should retain species identification records — scientific name, catch certificates, or aquaculture documentation — demonstrating that the fish does not fall under a more specific HTS line. A licensed customs broker can help confirm no enumerated provision exists for the species in question.
Yes. Fresh and chilled fish are highly perishable, and delays in FDA examination or customs processing can result in product deterioration. Importers often request priority examination and should ensure all prior notice and entry documentation is submitted promptly to minimize hold times.
