Jack and horse mackerel (Trachurus spp. and related carangids) are classified separately from true Scomber mackerel, reflecting their distinct biological family and commercial identity in global seafood trade. This parent-level HS10 line covers fresh or chilled whole fish, with US tariff subdivisions breaking out scaled product in small containers (0302451100) from all other forms (0302455000). FDA seafood HACCP documentation and accurate species identification are required at entry; importers should confirm the correct 10-digit line with a licensed customs broker before filing.

Jack and horse mackerel belong to the family Carangidae (genus Trachurus and relatives), while true mackerel are Scombridae. The HTS reflects this biological distinction, placing them under 030245 rather than 030244, which affects duty treatment and statistical tracking.
The key criterion is whether the fish are scaled and packed in immediate containers whose total weight (fish plus container) does not exceed 6.8 kg. Scaled fish in containers at or below that threshold go to 0302451100; all other fresh or chilled jack and horse mackerel (unscaled, bulk, or in larger containers) fall to 0302455000.
