Last updated: July 2026 dataFrozen flatfish not elsewhere specified — including flounder, rock sole (Pleuronectes bilineatus), and yellowfin sole (Pleuronectes asper) — are classified across five 10-digit lines under this HS6 heading: 0303390110 (flounder NESOI), 0303390120 (rock sole), 0303390130 (yellowfin sole), 0303390160, and 0303390195. Canada and South Korea are the leading suppliers, with Iceland, Panama, and Vietnam also significant sources, reflecting both North Pacific wild-capture fisheries and re-export trade flows. Species-level documentation is critical because the NESOI basket is a common destination for misclassified flatfish, and CBP may challenge entries lacking scientific-name support. FDA admissibility review, HACCP compliance, and prior notice requirements apply to all lines; consult a licensed customs broker or FDA compliance specialist before entry.

Each 10-digit line under 030339 is species-specific where named (flounder at 0303390110, rock sole at 0303390120, yellowfin sole at 0303390130), with the remaining NESOI lines (0303390160 and 0303390195) capturing other flatfish not covered by a named provision. Importers should classify by the scientific species name confirmed in supplier documentation; a mixed-species shipment may require separate line entries or a ruling request from CBP.
Panama's appearance among top suppliers likely reflects transshipment or re-export activity rather than domestic flatfish production, since Panama is a major logistics hub. Importers sourcing through Panama should ensure country-of-origin documentation traces back to the actual harvest nation, as CBP scrutinizes origin claims for seafood routed through transshipment points.
