Last updated: August 2026 dataPickerel (Esox spp.) fillets frozen under HTS 0304895015 represent a relatively low-volume specialty item in the North American freshwater fish trade, sourced primarily from Canadian lakes and rivers. FDA oversight under the seafood HACCP framework applies at entry, and country-of-origin labeling is mandatory for retail sale. The NESOI qualifier signals that this line captures pickerel not covered by any more specific HTS provision, so correct species identification on shipping documents is essential to avoid reclassification.

No. Walleye (Sander vitreus) has its own distinct tariff treatment, while pickerel refers to Esox species. Misidentifying the species on entry documents can trigger reclassification and potential penalties, so commercial invoices should cite the scientific name.
Importers need a commercial invoice with species identification, a bill of lading, and evidence that the foreign processor operates under an FDA-compliant seafood HACCP plan. If the product is subject to any fishery management or CITES listing, additional permits may be required.
