Last updated: June 2026 dataClassified under 0302290190, this residual line captures fresh or chilled whole flatfish from the families Pleuronectidae, Bothidae, Cynoglossidae, Soleidae, Scophthalmidae, and Citharidae that are not covered by any named species heading and are not flounder. Species entering here might include tonguefish (Cynoglossidae), certain righteye flounders not commercially designated as 'flounder,' or other specialty flatfish traded in ethnic and specialty seafood markets. Because this is a catch-all line, classification disputes are more common — importers should document species identity with scientific names and, where relevant, fishery certificates. FDA HACCP and acceptable market name requirements apply, and consulting a licensed customs broker is advisable when species identity is ambiguous.

Line 0302290110 is reserved specifically for flounder, while 0302290190 captures all other fresh or chilled flatfish from the covered families that are not named elsewhere in the schedule. If a species is commercially known as flounder and belongs to a covered family, it should be classified under 0302290110; all other qualifying flatfish that do not fit a named heading go to 0302290190.
A commercial invoice and packing list identifying the species by its scientific name, combined with a catch certificate or aquaculture production record, provides the strongest classification support. For species where the common name is ambiguous or shared across multiple species, a species identification letter from the exporter or a fishery authority can help prevent CBP queries and FDA misbranding concerns at entry.
