Last updated: August 2026 dataSauger (Sander canadensis), a close relative of walleye found in turbid river systems across central North America, is classified under HTS 0304895025 when exported as frozen fillets. Commercial volumes are modest compared to walleye, but sauger commands premium pricing in regional food-service markets where it is sometimes marketed interchangeably with walleye — a practice that raises species-substitution compliance concerns. FDA's seafood HACCP framework and mandatory species labeling requirements apply to all imported frozen fish fillets.

Importers should require foreign suppliers to provide species-level documentation (scientific name on the commercial invoice and packing list) and consider DNA-based species verification testing, particularly for mixed lots. FDA can detain shipments found to be economically adulterated through mislabeling.
Walleye fillets have their own dedicated HTS provision within the frozen fish fillet schedule. Sauger falls under 0304895025 as a distinct species. Correct classification depends on accurate species identification at the time of entry, not on commercial trade names.
