Last updated: August 2026 dataThe NESOI residual line for fresh or chilled freshwater fish fillets captures species not enumerated elsewhere in the subheading — a classification of last resort that importers should use only after confirming no species-specific line applies. FDA seafood HACCP requirements and Prior Notice filing obligations apply regardless of species. Because this line aggregates diverse species, CBP may request additional documentation to verify that a named species lacks a dedicated tariff line before accepting the NESOI classification.

The importer should first review all enumerated species lines within HTS subheading 0304.49 — including pickerel, whitefish, and tilapia lines — before defaulting to the NESOI line 0304490115. If the species is not specifically named in any other line, NESOI applies. Consulting a licensed customs broker and providing the scientific species name on entry documents is strongly recommended to support the classification decision.
Within HTS 0304.49, duty rates across the species-specific and NESOI lines are generally aligned, but importers should verify the current General Rate of Duty for 0304490115 via the USITC Harmonized Tariff Schedule, as rates can differ and are subject to change. Any applicable trade remedy measures would also need to be assessed separately.
