Importers of Fresh or Chilled Seabass, Whole or Dressed (NESOI) paid $1.3M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 11.04% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataServing as the catch-all provision for fresh or chilled seabass not captured by the scaled, small-container line (0302841100), this NESOI line covers bulk foodservice packs, unscaled whole fish, and any seabass presentation that does not meet the specific criteria of the companion line. Foodservice distributors and fish wholesalers importing large-format or unscaled seabass for restaurant supply will typically classify here. The NESOI designation means classification disputes can arise when product straddles the boundary with 0302841100, so precise documentation of container weight and scaling status at the time of export is essential for audit-proof entry.

The key differentiators are scaling and container weight. If the seabass is scaled and packed in containers weighing 6.8 kg or less with contents, it belongs under 0302841100. Any fresh or chilled seabass that is unscaled, or packed in containers exceeding 6.8 kg, or otherwise not meeting those specific criteria, falls into the NESOI line 0302845000. Importers should document both the scaling status and container weights on commercial invoices to support the correct classification.
Fresh seabass is not currently subject to widely publicized antidumping or countervailing duty orders in the US, but Section 301 tariffs may apply depending on the country of origin — particularly for product sourced from China. Importers should check the current Section 301 product exclusion lists and consult a licensed customs broker to confirm the applicable duty treatment for their specific supplier country.
