Under NOAA's Seafood Import Monitoring Program, haddock importers must submit harvest event data through ACE at the time of entry, including the harvesting vessel, flag state, fishing area (FAO zone), gear type, and product weight. Records must be retained for two years and are subject to audit by NOAA Office of Law Enforcement.
Fresh or chilled haddock fillets fall under 0304440020, while frozen haddock fillets are classified under a separate HTS heading for frozen fish fillets. The processing state at the time of importation — not the state at harvest — determines which heading applies, so importers must confirm that the product has not been frozen and thawed prior to entry if claiming the fresh/chilled line.
