Last updated: August 2026 dataRetail-ready presentation defines this tariff line: seabass that has been scaled and packed in immediate containers whose total weight with contents does not exceed 6.8 kg (approximately 15 lbs), arriving fresh or chilled. The container-weight threshold is a US-specific classification criterion that separates consumer-pack product from bulk foodservice or wholesale fish, making this line particularly relevant for specialty grocery and direct-to-retail import programs. European seabass farmed in Greece and Turkey dominates this presentation format in the US market, typically arriving as individual whole fish in vacuum or modified-atmosphere retail trays. USDA FSIS inspection is required at the port of entry.

The threshold applies to the immediate container weight including its contents (i.e., gross weight of the retail pack), not net fish weight alone. A tray of seabass with ice packs or modified-atmosphere packaging must weigh 6.8 kg or less in total to qualify under 0302841100. Shipments in larger bulk containers, even if individual fish are small, would fall under the NESOI line 0302845000.
Beyond FSIS health certificates, importers of fresh retail-packed seabass should maintain temperature logs from packing through port arrival, as FSIS inspectors may check that the cold chain has not been broken. Modified-atmosphere packaging must comply with FDA labeling requirements if the product is sold directly to consumers. Shelf life from harvest to US retail is typically very short, making air freight and rapid customs clearance operationally critical.
