U.S. imports of fresh or chilled gadiform fish (bregmacerotidae, gadidae & related families), nesoi (HS 030259) totaled $130K in April 2026, traded with 2 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataA broad residual heading, 030259 captures fresh and chilled fish from eight cod-order families — including Gadidae, Merlucciidae, and Macrouridae — that are not specifically enumerated elsewhere in Chapter 3. Three 10-digit lines apply: 0302590000 (general NESOI), 0302595010 (non-Atlantic pollock excluding fillets), and 0302595090 (all other fish of these families excluding livers, roes, and fillets). Canada and Japan lead US import supply, with Chile, Iceland, and Tanzania also contributing — a supplier mix that reflects the wide geographic distribution of gadiform species from Arctic to sub-Antarctic waters. FDA prior notice and port-of-entry admissibility review are required for all shipments.

Species that lack their own dedicated HS6 heading — such as certain Pacific cod presentations, non-Atlantic pollock (line 0302595010), and various deep-water macrourids — typically fall here. The classification is residual by design, so any gadiform species not covered by headings 030251 through 030256 defaults to this group.
Tanzania's presence likely reflects exports of Nile perch or other East African species that may be provisionally classified under this residual heading pending more specific determination, or it may represent re-export activity. Importers should verify species identity and correct classification with a licensed customs broker, as misclassification between gadiform and perciform headings carries compliance risk.
