U.S. exports of frozen fish, not elsewhere specified (whole/dressed, excluding fillets, livers & roes) (HS 030389) totaled $65.1M in July 2026.
Importers of Frozen Fish, Not Elsewhere Specified (Whole/Dressed, Excluding Fillets, Livers & Roes) paid $2.4M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 13% on $18.8M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataA broad residual heading, 030389 captures frozen whole or dressed fish that do not fit any of the species-specific headings earlier in Chapter 03 — spanning commercially significant species such as sablefish, monkfish, grouper, snapper, tilapia, capelin, and mullet, among others. The US schedule subdivides this heading into more than twenty 10-digit lines by species, including dedicated lines for sablefish (0303890061), grouper (0303890070), snapper (0303890067), and monkfish (0303890052), as well as catch-all lines for freshwater fish and unspecified frozen fish. Brazil leads US supply under this heading, followed by Japan, China, Mexico, and Vietnam — a diverse origin mix reflecting the heading's wide species scope. USDA FSIS reinspection applies to all human-food entries.

Classification follows the General Rules of Interpretation: if a species has its own named heading (e.g., salmon, cod, tuna, toothfish, sea bass), it must be classified there. Only species with no dedicated heading — or species not specifically named in any earlier heading — fall into 030389. When the species is ambiguous or uncommon, a binding ruling from CBP is the most reliable path to correct classification.
SIMP applies to specific priority species regardless of which HTS line they enter under. Several species that may appear in 030389 — including grouper and snapper — are SIMP-designated, requiring importers to file harvest and chain-of-custody data electronically at entry. Importers should check the current SIMP species list against the specific fish being imported.
