Last updated: August 2026 dataPerch (Perca spp.) and pike perch — commercially known as yellow pike or zander (Sander lucioperca) — are prized freshwater species in European and North American specialty markets, valued for their firm, mild white flesh. Under 0303890031, only frozen whole or dressed presentations qualify; fillet-form product is classified separately. European suppliers are historically significant sources for zander, while North American perch may move in both domestic and cross-border trade.

Yes. Zander (Sander lucioperca) is the European commercial name for pike perch, and it is classified under 0303890031 when imported frozen in whole or dressed form. Importers should ensure that commercial invoices and packing lists use the scientific name to avoid species-identification disputes at entry.
The 0303890031 line covers fish that retain their skeletal structure — whole, gutted, or headed — while frozen perch fillets (flesh separated from bone) fall under the frozen fish fillet headings. Misclassification between these forms is a common audit finding, particularly when product is partially processed but not fully filleted.
