Last updated: August 2026 dataFlounder meat in non-fillet form — covering dressed, steaked, or bone-in cuts of various flounder species — is classified under HTS 0304590050 when fresh or chilled. Flounder encompasses a broad range of flatfish species across multiple genera (Paralichthys, Platichthys, Pseudopleuronectes, and others), and species-level identification on import documentation is important given that different flounder species may have distinct market values and regulatory histories. This line is distinct from the plaice (0304590045) and Greenland turbot (0304590055) lines within the same heading. FDA HACCP seafood regulations apply to all imported fresh flounder.

Summer flounder (Paralichthys dentatus), winter flounder (Pseudopleuronectes americanus), and Pacific halibut-adjacent species are among those that may appear under this line, though halibut has its own specific classification. The key is that the product must be identified as flounder (not plaice, sole, or turbot) and presented in non-fillet form. Scientific species names on invoices help prevent misclassification.
Generally, each species should be classified under its most specific applicable tariff line. If a shipment contains both flounder and plaice, for example, they should be declared separately under their respective lines. Commingled species shipments can create classification complications; consult a licensed customs broker before entry.
