Pickerel — a freshwater species of the pike family (Esox) — is classified here when entered fresh or chilled in whole or dressed form, with fillets, livers, and roes excluded. The NESOI qualifier indicates this line applies when no more specific provision covers the particular pickerel species or presentation. Pickerel is a niche commercial species in North American inland fisheries, and imports are limited in volume; Canada is the most plausible source given the species' range, though no supplier data is available for this line. FDA prior notice and seafood HACCP requirements apply to all fresh fish imports, and importers should confirm species identity to rule out classification under a more specific pike or perch provision.

Pickerel refers to smaller members of the Esox genus (true pikes), while pike perch — classified at 0302895013 — refers to Sander/Stizostedion species such as walleye or zander. The distinction is biological: Esox species are true pikes, whereas pike perch are perciform fish. Species identification on the commercial invoice and, if needed, a scientific name declaration is the key to correct classification.
Yes — fresh and frozen fish sold at retail in the US are subject to mandatory country-of-origin labeling (COOL) under USDA Agricultural Marketing Service rules. The label must disclose the country of origin and, for wild-caught fish, the method of production. This is a separate obligation from tariff classification and applies at the retail point of sale.
