Last updated: April 2026 dataJapan leads US imports under this broad residual heading, which captures non-fillet, non-steak fresh and chilled fish meat from species not covered by the more specific headings — including sole, plaice, flounder, Greenland turbot, yellow perch, pike, pickerel, and freshwater whitefish. The US schedule is unusually detailed, with dedicated lines for Greenland turbot (0304590055), sole (0304590040), plaice (0304590045), flounder (0304590050), and multiple freshwater species, reflecting the commercial diversity of this catch-all heading. Canada and Mexico are also significant suppliers. FDA Prior Notice and seafood HACCP controls apply, and NOAA's SIMP may apply to certain species depending on harvest area and gear type.

Greenland turbot (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) non-fillet, non-steak meat is specifically provided for under line 0304590055 within this heading. Importers should ensure the commercial invoice uses the scientific name to support classification, as 'turbot' is a common name applied to multiple flatfish species that may classify differently.
CBP and FDA may review temperature logs, packing records, and time-from-harvest documentation to verify that product has been maintained at refrigeration temperatures and has not been frozen at any point in the supply chain. If product was frozen and thawed prior to export, it must be reclassified under the frozen fish meat headings. Importers should obtain temperature records from the exporter and freight forwarder as part of standard due diligence.
