Last updated: June 2026 dataAtlantic herring (Clupea harengus) and Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii) are covered by this line in whole or dressed form, fresh or chilled, with fillets, livers, and roes excluded. Herring is a high-volume pelagic species with dual commercial roles: a direct food fish in European and Asian markets and a critical bait and reduction-fishery input in North American commercial fishing. FDA admissibility rules apply to fresh fish imports, though herring's relatively lower per-unit value compared to premium tunas means shipments are more commonly sea-freighted in refrigerated containers. Pacific herring roe (kazunoko) is a separately classified, high-value product that must not be commingled with whole-fish entries under this line.

Herring roes and fillets are explicitly excluded from 0302410000. Roes classify under heading 0302 or 0303 depending on whether fresh/chilled or frozen, in the subheadings dedicated to fish livers and roes, while fillets fall under heading 0304. Mixing product forms in a single entry under this line would constitute misclassification.
Yes. Both Atlantic and Pacific herring fisheries are subject to seasonal closures and quota management by NOAA Fisheries and Canadian/other national authorities. Peak availability of fresh whole herring typically aligns with spawning seasons, and importers sourcing for bait or food markets should coordinate with suppliers on quota status and vessel scheduling to avoid supply gaps.
