Last updated: August 2026 dataA broad residual heading for fresh or chilled non-fillet, non-steak fish meat not covered by more specific HS6 headings, this grouping spans an unusually wide range of species — from freshwater fish like yellow perch, pike perch, whitefish, tilapia, and pickerel to marine flatfish such as sole, plaice, flounder, and Greenland turbot. Japan, Canada, and Mexico are the leading suppliers, reflecting both the diversity of species and the range of fisheries involved. Each of the fourteen 10-digit lines under this heading targets a distinct species or species group, making precise species identification on entry documents essential to avoid misclassification. All shipments are subject to FDA admissibility review, and species covered by NOAA's Seafood Import Monitoring Program require harvest traceability data at entry.

Classification at the 10-digit level depends on the specific species or species group: dedicated lines exist for yellow perch (0304590003), pike perch (0304590006), freshwater perch NESOI (0304590009), pike (0304590015), pickerel (0304590020), whitefish (0304590025), tilapia (0304590030), freshwater fish NESOI (0304590036), sole (0304590040), plaice (0304590045), flounder (0304590050), Greenland turbot (0304590055), and a catch-all marine NESOI line (0304590091). Accurate species identification on the commercial invoice and packing list is the starting point for correct classification.
SIMP covers specific priority species designated by NOAA due to IUU fishing risk. Among the species grouped here, flounder and certain flatfish may fall under SIMP coverage depending on the specific species and fishing area. Importers should check the current SIMP species list against their product's scientific name and harvest area before entry, as SIMP data must be submitted through ACE at the time of importation.
