Last updated: August 2026 dataHake is a commercially significant whitefish genus (primarily Merluccius spp. and Urophycis spp.) traded globally in frozen fillet form, and the US tariff schedule subdivides HS 030474 into three lines based on presentation and species: general hake fillets (0304740000), skinned fillets in large frozen blocks over 4.5 kg intended for further processing (0304741000), and Urophycis spp. hake fillets not elsewhere specified (0304745000). Chile and Argentina are the leading suppliers, reflecting the importance of South Atlantic and South Pacific Merluccius fisheries, with Namibia, New Zealand, and South Africa also contributing. FDA HACCP-based seafood inspection applies at entry, and the block-format subheading (0304741000) carries a specific downstream-use condition — the blocks must be destined for mincing, grinding, or cutting into uniform pieces.

Subheading 0304741000 applies specifically to skinned hake fillets in frozen blocks weighing more than 4.5 kg each, and only when those blocks are intended to be minced, ground, or cut into pieces of uniform weight and dimension. This is a processing-intent condition; importers must ensure commercial documentation supports the downstream use to avoid reclassification into the general or NESOI lines.
The NESOI line 0304745000 is reserved for hake of the genus Urophycis (such as red hake and white hake, found in the Northwest Atlantic), while Merluccius species — the dominant commercial hake from South America and Southern Africa — generally classify under 0304740000 or 0304741000 depending on presentation. Species-level identification on the supplier's invoice and packing list is the key supporting document for the correct subheading.
