U.S. imports of fresh or chilled freshwater whitefish (whole, not fillet, liver, or roe) (HS 0302895031) totaled $703K in June 2026, traded with 1 country.
Freshwater whitefish — commercially important species such as lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) traded in the Great Lakes region — enters under this line in whole or dressed form, fresh or chilled. The Great Lakes fishery and Canadian aquaculture operations make this a regionally significant trade flow, and the fresh/chilled format demands rapid port processing. FDA entry review applies, and importers should be prepared to supply species-level documentation given the broad common-name 'whitefish' used across multiple genera.

FDA has jurisdiction over imported fish and fishery products. Shipments may be subject to FDA examination or automatic detention if prior compliance issues exist with the foreign establishment. USDA FSIS does not cover fish — its authority is limited to meat, poultry, and egg products.
The common name 'whitefish' is applied to several freshwater species across different genera. Classification here requires the fish to be freshwater, fresh or chilled, and not a fillet, liver, or roe. If a species has its own enumerated HTS line, that more specific provision takes precedence over this NESOI line. Species documentation is strongly recommended to support the classification decision.
