Importers of Fresh or Chilled Non-Freshwater Fish Meat (Non-Fillet, NESOI) paid $125K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 10.11% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Fresh or Chilled Non-Freshwater Fish Meat (Non-Fillet, NESOI) imports of $1.3M in August 2026 ran 29% below the year-to-date monthly average of $1.8M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataActing as the residual provision for saltwater and anadromous fish meat not captured by more specific lines, HTS 0304590091 covers non-fillet cuts of marine fish species — fresh or chilled — that are not freshwater fish and not otherwise enumerated in HTS 0304.59. Species that might fall here include various marine fish presented as steaks, dressed cuts, or bone-in portions where no species-specific line applies. Correct use of this line requires confirming the product is not freshwater (which would direct it to 0304590036) and does not belong to a named species line earlier in the subheading. FDA prior notice and HACCP compliance requirements apply, and species documentation is essential for CBP classification review.

The product must be: (1) fish meat other than fillets, (2) fresh or chilled, (3) not a freshwater species, and (4) not a species specifically named in a preceding line within HTS 0304.59 (such as sole, plaice, flounder, or Greenland turbot). If all four conditions are met, 0304590091 applies. A licensed customs broker should be consulted when species identity or processing state is uncertain.
Commercial invoices should include the scientific species name, common trade name, habitat type (marine vs. freshwater), processing description (e.g., headed and gutted, steaked), and country of origin. For species with ambiguous common names or those that span freshwater and marine environments (anadromous species), additional documentation clarifying the classification basis is advisable.
