U.S. exports of Fresh or Chilled Indian Mackerels, Seerfishes, Marlins, Sailfish, Spearfish & Related Species (HS 0302490000) totaled $257K in August 2026.
Last updated: August 2026 dataA broad residual line for fresh or chilled pelagic and billfish species not covered by the preceding Scomber, jack, cobia, or swordfish provisions, this heading encompasses Indian mackerels, seerfishes (Scomberomorus spp.), jacks and crevalles, silver pomfrets, Pacific saury, scads, capelin, kawakawa, bonitos, marlins, sailfish, and spearfish. The diversity of species means accurate scientific identification is critical at entry, as some — particularly marlins and sailfish — may be subject to NOAA HMS import documentation requirements similar to swordfish. FDA admissibility review and seafood HACCP compliance apply across all species in this grouping. Given the classification complexity of this catch-all line, importers should consult a licensed customs broker to confirm species identity and correct tariff treatment.

Marlins and sailfish are highly migratory species managed under ICCAT and other regional fishery bodies, and NOAA Fisheries does require HMS import documentation for these species. Importers should verify current requirements with NOAA and CBP, as documentation obligations can differ by species and region of capture.
The more specific lines (030244 for Scomber mackerel, 030245 for jack and horse mackerel) take precedence. If the species is not a Scomber, Trachurus, cobia, or swordfish, it likely falls here — but scientific species identification should be confirmed on the commercial invoice and packing list. A CBP binding ruling is advisable for novel or ambiguous species.
