Last updated: August 2026 dataPlaice (Pleuronectes platessa) fillets entered fresh or chilled occupy a narrow but distinct slot within the flatfish fillet schedule, classified at the 10-digit level under the broader flatfish fillet heading. Cold-chain integrity is critical given the short shelf life of fresh fillets, and all imported fish fillets are subject to FDA entry review. Buyers in the foodservice and retail sectors should confirm species identification documentation, as plaice is sometimes confused with other European flatfish at the border.
