Last updated: July 2026 dataDried fish belonging to specified taxonomic families — preserved without smoking — enter the US under a single tariff line (0305530000) and must clear USDA FSIS reinspection at the port of entry from an approved foreign establishment. Norway dominates supply, with Canada and South Korea also among the leading sources, reflecting both Atlantic cod-family fisheries and Asian-Pacific species. Moisture content, species identity, and salt content are the key classification variables that distinguish this heading from adjacent dried-and-smoked or salted-but-not-dried provisions. Importers should confirm species documentation carefully, as misidentification can trigger reclassification into a different subheading with different duty treatment.

Moisture content is a critical classification factor: fish that retains high moisture may be considered 'salted but not dried' and fall under a different subheading (such as 0305.62 or 0305.69), while sufficiently dehydrated product belongs here. Importers should obtain laboratory moisture analysis to support the correct classification and avoid reclassification at entry.
Shipments must originate from an establishment on USDA FSIS's approved foreign country and establishment list. The exporting country's competent authority must issue a health certificate, and the product is subject to reinspection at a USDA-designated port of entry. Consult a licensed customs broker or FSIS import specialist to confirm current country eligibility and certificate requirements.
