Freshwater perch — excluding pike perch and Nile perch, which have their own tariff lines — enters the US market in whole or dressed form, fresh or chilled, under this residual NESOI designation. The exclusion of fillets, livers, and roes is a hard classification boundary: any fillet presentation shifts the product to a different heading entirely. Cold-chain integrity is critical for this perishable form, and all imported fish are subject to FDA entry review at the port of arrival.

Pike perch (e.g., walleye/zander) and Nile perch are classified under separate, species-specific HTS provisions. This line (0302895025) is a residual 'NESOI' (not elsewhere specified or included) category covering other freshwater perch species not enumerated elsewhere in the schedule.
No. The code explicitly excludes fillets; any portion of the shipment presented as fillets must be classified under the appropriate fish fillet heading. Mixed shipments may require splitting the entry across multiple tariff lines, so accurate product presentation documentation is essential.
