Fresh or Chilled Plaice Meat (Non-Fillet)

European plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) and related species classified as plaice enter under HTS 0304590045 when presented as non-fillet meat, fresh or chilled. Plaice is a commercially important North Atlantic flatfish, with significant landings in European waters, and its trade into the US is relatively limited compared to fillet product — making this a specialized line primarily relevant to specialty seafood importers and food-service distributors. As with other flatfish, the distinction between fillet and non-fillet presentation is determinative for classification. FDA prior notice and HACCP compliance are required for all imported fresh fishery products.
