Last updated: August 2026 dataClassified under HTS 0303550000, frozen jack and horse mackerel (Trachurus spp.) in whole or dressed form — excluding fillets, livers, and roe — serve primarily as a protein source in foodservice, aquaculture feed, and export-oriented processing. Norway is the leading supplier to the US market, with Spain and Chile also contributing meaningfully from their respective Atlantic and Southeast Pacific fisheries. Because this is a single 10-digit line with no US subdivisions, size grade and species variant are captured in commercial documentation rather than the tariff schedule. FDA prior notice and seafood HACCP compliance are mandatory for all imported frozen fish.

Yes. Trachurus murphyi, the dominant species in Chilean and Peruvian Pacific fisheries, falls within the jack and horse mackerel heading and classifies under 0303550000 when frozen and not presented as fillets, livers, or roe. Importers should include the scientific name on commercial documents to facilitate FDA and CBP review.
The HTS classification is the same regardless of end use. However, product destined for human consumption requires FDA prior notice, facility registration, and HACCP documentation, while feed-grade product may face different regulatory pathways. Importers should confirm the intended use with their customs broker and the relevant regulatory agency before entry.
