Last updated: August 2026 dataSmoked mackerel (0305492000), smoked cod, cusk, haddock, hake, and pollock (0305494020), and a broad residual category of other smoked fish and fillets (0305494045) are grouped under this heading for species not covered by the dedicated smoked salmon, herring, or trout headings. The United Kingdom is the leading US supplier, reflecting its deep tradition of smoking haddock (finnan haddie), mackerel, and other North Atlantic species; Japan and South Korea also contribute, particularly for smoked fish products oriented toward Asian-American markets. FDA admissibility review and seafood HACCP requirements apply to all shipments.

Yes. The US tariff schedule provides a dedicated line (0305492000) specifically for smoked mackerel, including fillets, distinguishing it from the residual smoked fish lines. Smoked cod, cusk, haddock, hake, and pollock are similarly grouped together under 0305494020. Products not covered by these specific lines fall under the general residual provision 0305494045.
A commercial invoice identifying the species (Melanogrammus aeglefinus), processing method (smoked), and net weight is required, along with a packing list and bill of lading. FDA Prior Notice must be filed electronically before arrival, and the UK exporter must be registered with FDA as a foreign food facility. The shipment will be subject to FDA examination under seafood HACCP regulations. A licensed customs broker can assist with entry filing and admissibility coordination.
