Statistical number 4 of 4 in subheading 030453
Covering non-fillet fish meat from the cod-related families Bregmacerotidae, Euclichthyidae, Gadidae, Maruridae, and Melanonidae, this residual line captures whole cuts, loins, and other portions that fall outside the fillet and steak classifications. Gadidae — the family that includes cod, haddock, and pollock — is commercially dominant in this grouping, making cold-chain integrity and species documentation critical for importers. All seafood entering the US under this line is subject to FDA admissibility review, and importers should be prepared to provide catch certificates or aquaculture documentation depending on origin. Classification here versus a species-specific fillet heading turns on both the physical form of the product and the precise family identification, so accurate species labeling is essential.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
This line covers fish meat that is neither a fillet nor a steak — such as loins, collar cuts, or bone-in portions — from Gadidae and related families. Fillets (boneless, trimmed cuts) and steaks (cross-section cuts) are classified under separate HTS headings, so the physical form of the product at time of entry determines the correct classification.
FDA requires prior notice of importation for all seafood. Depending on origin, importers may also need to provide catch certificates, Seafood Import Monitoring Program (SIMP) records for covered species, and country-of-origin documentation. Consulting a licensed customs broker and reviewing FDA's seafood HACCP requirements before shipment is strongly advised.
