HSChapter 03
Pike meat entered in non-fillet forms — such as steaks, loins, or dressed whole cuts — falls under HTS 0304590015 and is subject to FDA oversight at the port of entry as an imported fishery product. Pike is a lean, firm-fleshed freshwater predator prized in European and North American food-service markets, and its non-fillet presentation typically reflects whole-fish or bone-in processing that commands different handling and yield considerations than fillet product. Cold-chain integrity is critical given the fresh or chilled (not frozen) condition required for classification here. Importers should confirm species identification documentation, as pike can be confused with related esocid species at customs.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Steaks, loins, dressed carcasses, and other bone-in or skin-on cuts qualify, provided they are not presented as boneless fillet portions. Whole gutted fish may also fall here depending on processing state. The key distinction is that the product must not meet the definition of a fillet under HTS Chapter 3 notes.
FDA has primary jurisdiction over imported fishery products, including fresh or chilled pike. Shipments may be subject to FDA examination and must comply with HACCP seafood regulations under 21 CFR Part 123. Consult a licensed customs broker or FDA-registered importer of record for admissibility requirements.
