Last updated: August 2026 dataCovering the three commercially recognized Scomber species — Atlantic mackerel (S. scombrus), Pacific mackerel (S. japonicus), and blue mackerel (S. australasicus) — this line applies to whole or dressed fish shipped fresh or chilled, explicitly excluding fillets, livers, and roes. The species distinction matters at entry because S. scombrus and S. japonicus have different harvest regions and cold-chain requirements; misidentification can trigger reclassification. All fresh fish imports are subject to FDA admissibility review, and importers should verify that the exporting establishment meets US seafood HACCP requirements. Consult a licensed customs broker or FDA-registered agent to confirm species-level classification and admissibility before shipment.

HTS 0302440000 consolidates all three Scomber species (S. scombrus, S. australasicus, and S. japonicus) into a single line for fresh or chilled whole fish. Species-level documentation is still important for FDA admissibility and for verifying that the product does not belong under a separate heading for fillets (0304) or processed fish.
Fillets, livers, and roes are explicitly excluded. Mackerel fillets, whether fresh or chilled, fall under heading 0304, while livers and roes have their own tariff provisions. Only whole, gutted, headed, or similarly dressed fish — not portioned cuts — belong here.
