U.S. imports of fish (nesoi), salted or in brine, not dried or smoked (HS 030569) totaled $1.8M in April 2026, traded with 19 countries.
Importers of Fish (NESOI), Salted or in Brine, Not Dried or Smoked paid $187K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 19% on $986K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataA broad residual heading covering salted or brined fish not captured by the named-species provisions, this group spans an unusually granular set of US tariff lines distinguishing hake, pollock, haddock, cusk, mackerel, salmon, and other species — each further split by container size and processing level. Canada leads supply, with China, South Korea, the Faroe Islands, and Iceland also significant sources, reflecting the heading's coverage of both North Atlantic groundfish and Pacific species. USDA FSIS admissibility requirements apply across all lines. The depth of species-level subdivision means that importers must identify the fish to species and confirm processing form before selecting the correct 10-digit line.

The US schedule under 0305.69 separates pollock by processing form: whole or processed pollock in brine falls under 0305691022, while pollock salted but not in brine (and not dried or smoked) falls under 0305691042. Importers must confirm whether the product is packed in brine solution or dry-salted, and obtain species documentation confirming it is pollock rather than a similar groundfish, before selecting the correct line.
The Faroe Islands are a self-governing territory of Denmark and are not part of the EU customs union, so EU trade agreement preferences do not automatically apply. Importers should verify the applicable duty rate and confirm that the certificate of origin correctly identifies the Faroe Islands as the country of origin. Normal FSIS admissibility requirements apply regardless of origin.
