U.S. imports of fresh or chilled cod-family & related fish (bregmacerotidae and related families), nesoi (HS 030259) totaled $77K in June 2026, traded with 3 countries.
Fresh or Chilled Cod-Family & Related Fish (Bregmacerotidae and Related Families), NESOI imports of $77K in June 2026 ran 14% below the year-to-date monthly average of $89K.
Heading 030259 is a residual category capturing fresh and chilled fish from several cod-related families — including Bregmacerotidae, Euclichthyidae, Gadidae, Macrouridae, Melanonidae, Merlucciidae, and Moridae — that are not classified under more specific headings. Notably, the US schedule carves out a dedicated line (0302595010) for non-Atlantic pollock shipped fresh or chilled, distinguishing it from the NESOI remainder (0302595090). Canada and Japan lead supply, with Chile, Iceland, and Tanzania also contributing, reflecting the broad geographic range of species covered. FDA prior notice is required for all entries, and correct species identification on import documentation is essential given the taxonomic breadth of this heading.

Tariff line 0302595010 specifically covers non-Atlantic pollock (such as walleye/Alaska pollock, Gadus chalcogrammus) shipped fresh or chilled, excluding fillets and other excluded forms. Atlantic pollock is classified under a separate heading. The distinction matters because the two lines may carry different duty rates, and misclassification can result in penalties.
Heading 030259 functions as a catch-all for the broader cod order (Gadiformes) not addressed by more specific HS subheadings for cod, haddock, hake, or blue whiting. The taxonomic breadth means importers dealing with less common species — such as grenadiers (Macrouridae) or morid cods — will typically land here, and species-level documentation is critical for accurate classification.
