Last updated: August 2026 dataRock sole (Pleuronectes bilineatus) is a North Pacific flatfish harvested primarily in Alaskan and adjacent waters, and its dedicated 10-digit HTS line reflects the species' commercial significance in frozen whole-fish trade. The scientific name in the long description — Pleuronectes bilineatus — is the controlling classification criterion; importers must ensure supplier documentation confirms this species rather than a related flatfish that would fall under the NESOI provisions. FDA admissibility requirements, including prior notice and HACCP documentation, apply to all frozen seafood imports. Consult a licensed customs broker or FDA compliance specialist before entry.

CBP assigns dedicated 10-digit lines to commercially significant species to enable more precise trade monitoring and, where applicable, targeted duty treatment. Rock sole's volume in North Pacific fisheries warranted its own provision. Importers benefit from using the species-specific line because it reduces the risk of a CBP challenge that might arise from entering a named species under an NESOI basket.
NOAA's Seafood Import Monitoring Program (SIMP) may require harvest and chain-of-custody documentation for certain flatfish species to combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing. Importers should verify whether rock sole falls within the current SIMP species list and maintain the required records accordingly.
