Functioning as the broadest residual provision within the fresh and chilled fish schedule, this line captures fish of any origin — including freshwater species — that are not covered by any more specific enumerated subheading in heading 0302. Correct use depends on exhausting all specific species provisions first; CBP has issued binding rulings on numerous species that clarify whether they belong here or in a named line. All fresh and chilled fish imports require FDA prior notice and must be accompanied by HACCP-compliant supplier documentation, and importers should be prepared for potential FDA detention if the species or establishment is flagged.

Code 0302895077 is limited to non-freshwater (marine) species not elsewhere specified, while 0302897102 is the broader NESOI provision that can encompass any fish — including freshwater species — not covered by a more specific line. Importers should confirm the species' habitat classification and check all enumerated lines before using either residual code.
Yes. Importers can request a binding ruling from CBP before importation to obtain a definitive classification for a specific species. This is particularly useful for less-common aquaculture or wild-caught species where the correct 10-digit line is not obvious from the tariff schedule text alone.
