Last updated: August 2026 dataSole fillets in fresh or chilled form occupy a dedicated 10-digit line reflecting the commercial importance of this flatfish in US foodservice and retail markets. Species accuracy is essential at classification — 'sole' in trade often refers to several distinct species (Dover sole, lemon sole, Pacific sole), and the invoice description should align with the biological species to support the classification. FDA Prior Notice and registered-establishment requirements apply to all entries. Consult a licensed customs broker for current admissibility and species-identification requirements.

No. The commercial term 'sole' is applied to multiple species — including Dover sole (Solea solea), lemon sole (Microstomus kitt), and various Pacific species — which may have different biological classifications. CBP expects the invoice to identify the species accurately; a generic 'sole' description without species identification may be insufficient to support classification under 0304430010 versus the NESOI flatfish line.
Sole is not currently a priority species under NOAA's Seafood Import Monitoring Program, so the additional harvest-event reporting required for designated species does not apply. Standard FDA admissibility requirements — Prior Notice filing and sourcing from a registered foreign establishment — remain mandatory for all imported fish products.
