U.S. imports of smoked fish, including fillets, nesoi (HS 030549) totaled $370K in April 2026, traded with 18 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataSmoked mackerel (0305492000), smoked cod, cusk, haddock, hake, and pollock (0305494020), and a broad residual NESOI category (0305494045) make up the US tariff lines under this catch-all heading for smoked fish not covered by species-specific headings. The United Kingdom is the leading supplier, reflecting its long tradition of smoked haddock (finnan haddie) and smoked mackerel production, with Japan and South Korea also significant sources for Asian-style smoked seafood products. Correct classification requires confirming that the species in question is not already captured by a more specific heading — herrings, trout, salmon, and the tilapia/catfish group each have their own dedicated smoked-fish headings. FDA Prior Notice and HACCP compliance requirements apply to all entries.

Classification starts with species identification. Herrings go to 030542, trout to 030543, salmon to 030541, and tilapia/catfish/Nile perch/snakeheads to 030544. Only smoked fish that does not fit those species-specific headings — such as mackerel, cod, haddock, hake, pollock, cusk, and others — falls under 030549. Misclassification is common when a product contains multiple species or when common trade names obscure the scientific species identity.
Both smoked pollock and smoked cod are captured within the same 10-digit line (0305494020), which covers cod, cusk, haddock, hake, and pollock together. There is no further subdivision at the tariff-line level between these species, though the commercial invoice must still identify the species for FDA and country-of-origin labeling purposes. Consult a licensed customs broker if the product is a blend or if species documentation is incomplete.
