Retail-ready presentation drives this subdivision: jack and horse mackerel that have been scaled and packed in immediate containers whose combined weight does not exceed 6.8 kg are classified here, distinguishing them from bulk or unscaled fresh fish. The 6.8 kg threshold (equivalent to 15 lbs) aligns with a longstanding US packaging benchmark used across several fresh-fish tariff lines. FDA seafood HACCP compliance and accurate net-weight documentation are essential, as container weight is a classification determinant at this line. Importers should work with a licensed customs broker to ensure packaging specifications are correctly declared.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The tariff language specifies 'immediate containers weighing with their contents' 6.8 kg or less, meaning the combined weight of the container plus the fish. A container holding slightly less than 6.8 kg of fish could still exceed the threshold once the container's own weight is included.
Scaling is a mandatory condition. Unscaled jack and horse mackerel in small containers do not qualify for 0302451100 and instead fall to the NESOI line 0302455000, regardless of container size.
