Ocean perch — principally Sebastes species such as Acadian redfish in the Atlantic and Pacific rockfish in the West Coast market — is classified here in whole or dressed form, fresh or chilled, distinct from the freshwater perch lines elsewhere in the schedule. The marine habitat and deepwater trawl or longline harvest methods differentiate this product commercially from freshwater perch, and the fresh/chilled format targets premium retail and foodservice buyers who prioritize quality over shelf life. FDA entry review applies at the port of arrival.

The distinction is habitat-based: ocean perch refers to marine species (primarily Sebastes spp., including Acadian redfish and Pacific rockfish), while freshwater perch lines cover species from inland waters. Supporting documentation such as catch area certificates or species identification records helps establish the correct classification and avoids confusion between the two product types.
Yes. The NESOI designation means this line captures ocean perch not covered by a more specific HTS provision. Importers should confirm that the particular Sebastes or related species being imported does not have an enumerated line in the schedule before defaulting to this residual code. A licensed customs broker can assist with the species-level classification review.
