U.S. imports of Frozen Fish, Not Elsewhere Specified (Whole or Dressed, Excluding Fillets, Livers & Roe) (HS 0303890080) totaled $12.0M in August 2026, imported from 42 countries.
Importers of Frozen Fish, Not Elsewhere Specified (Whole or Dressed, Excluding Fillets, Livers & Roe) paid $1.9M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 16.23% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataA residual catch-all, this line captures frozen whole or dressed fish that do not fall under any named species subheading within heading 0303 — making correct pre-classification essential, since CBP may challenge entries where a named species line exists but was overlooked. The breadth of species that could enter here means importers must conduct thorough HTS research before filing, as misuse of NESOI lines is a common audit finding. FDA admissibility review and Prior Notice requirements apply regardless of species, and SIMP recordkeeping obligations may attach depending on the specific fish being imported. Detailed species identification on commercial invoices is strongly recommended to support both classification and admissibility.

The NESOI line 0303890080 should only be used when the specific species being imported genuinely has no dedicated subheading within heading 0303. If a named subheading exists for the species — such as those for sablefish, snapper, or grouper — that specific line takes precedence. Using NESOI for a species that has its own line is a classification error that can trigger CBP penalties.
CBP and FDA both benefit from the most specific species identification possible. The commercial invoice should state the common name, scientific name, and presentation (e.g., whole, headed and gutted) to support both the NESOI classification decision and FDA's admissibility and labeling review.
