U.S. imports of frozen fish, not elsewhere specified or included (excluding fillets, livers & roe) (HS 030389) totaled $19.4M in April 2026, traded with 48 countries.
A broad catch-all heading, 030389 encompasses an unusually wide range of frozen whole and dressed fish species — from smelts and sturgeon to monkfish, sablefish, grouper, snapper, tilapia, and scorpionfish — each assigned its own 10-digit US tariff line. With over twenty enumerated lines, correct species-level identification is essential: misclassifying a product into the general NESOI line (0303890080 or 0303896197) when a species-specific line exists can trigger CBP review. Brazil, China, and Japan are among the leading US suppliers under this heading. FDA prior notice and seafood admissibility review apply to all lines.

Start by checking whether the species has a named line within 030389 — the schedule enumerates smelts, cusk, shad, sturgeon, pike, perch, whitefish, tilapia, Atka mackerel, mullet, monkfish, butterfish, capelin, sablefish, ocean perch, snapper, grouper, Pacific ocean perch, and scorpionfish separately. If the species is not named, the residual lines (0303890080 or 0303896197) apply. A licensed customs broker with seafood experience can help confirm classification, particularly for species with multiple common names.
Yes. Sturgeon are listed under CITES Appendix II, meaning imports require a valid CITES export permit from the country of origin. USFWS reviews CITES documentation at the port of entry in addition to FDA's standard seafood admissibility process. Importers should confirm CITES permit validity well before shipment to avoid delays or refusal of entry.
