U.S. imports of frozen fish, not elsewhere specified (whole, not fillets) (HS 030389) totaled $19.4M in April 2026, traded with 48 countries.
Importers of Frozen Fish, Not Elsewhere Specified (Whole, Not Fillets) paid $2.2M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 13% on $16.9M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Frozen Fish, Not Elsewhere Specified (Whole, Not Fillets) imports of $19.4M in April 2026 ran 14% below the year-to-date monthly average of $22.5M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataSpanning more than twenty US tariff lines, this residual frozen-fish heading captures a wide range of species — from sablefish and monkfish to tilapia, grouper, snapper, capelin, and scorpionfish — that do not fall under species-specific frozen-fish headings. Brazil and China are the leading suppliers, with Japan, Mexico, and Vietnam also contributing, reflecting the heading's breadth across both aquaculture and wild-caught sources. Correct species-level classification is critical: many lines are species-specific (e.g., 0303890061 for sablefish, 0303890070 for grouper), and an NESOI line such as 0303890080 or 0303896197 applies only when no named line fits. FDA prior notice is required for all seafood imports, and shipments are subject to FDA admissibility screening under the seafood HACCP program.

Work through the named 10-digit lines first — 0303890061 (sablefish), 0303890067 (snapper), 0303890070 (grouper), and others each capture a specific species or group. Only if no named line matches should the shipment be classified under the NESOI provisions such as 0303890080 or 0303896197. A licensed customs broker and CBP binding ruling can resolve ambiguous species.
Yes. Tariff line 0303890040 covers frozen tilapia excluding fillets, livers, and roes — meaning whole, headed-and-gutted, or similarly dressed product. Frozen tilapia fillets classify separately under the Chapter 03 fillet provisions. The distinction in presentation at time of importation controls classification.
