Last updated: July 2026 dataJack and horse mackerel (Trachurus spp.) are taxonomically distinct from true mackerel (Scomber spp.) and occupy their own HS6 heading, reflecting their separate commercial identity in global pelagic fisheries. Norway and Spain lead US supply, with Chile and Portugal also significant — a supplier mix that spans both Atlantic and Pacific Trachurus stocks. The single 10-digit line 0303550000 covers the whole frozen form only; fillets and roe classify under different headings. FDA entry review and seafood HACCP requirements apply to all imported frozen fish for human consumption.

Jack and horse mackerel belong to the family Carangidae (genus Trachurus), while true mackerel are Scombridae (genus Scomber). The HS system places them in separate 6-digit headings — 030355 versus 030354 — because they are biologically and commercially distinct species with different market applications, fat profiles, and fishery management regimes.
Commercial invoices and packing lists should state the scientific name (e.g., Trachurus murphyi for Chilean jack mackerel or Trachurus trachurus for Atlantic horse mackerel), the catch area, and the processing establishment's FDA registration number. Species-level documentation helps avoid reclassification disputes and supports FDA HACCP traceability requirements.
