Last updated: August 2026 dataA residual category capturing dried fish — with or without salt — that does not fall under the species-specific or form-specific headings for cod or fillets, this grouping encompasses a wide range of commercially traded products including dried anchovies, dried herring, and various dried tropical species used in Asian, African, and Latin American cuisines. The diversity of species and origins in this catch-all heading makes accurate species identification and country-of-origin documentation especially important for US Customs and FDA review. Importers should be prepared for FDA examination given the broad range of processing environments represented.

Because this heading is a catch-all for dried fish not covered by more specific headings, CBP and FDA may scrutinize species declarations more closely to confirm the product does not belong under a more specific — and potentially differently dutiable — heading. Accurate species identification on commercial invoices and, where applicable, catch certificates, reduces the risk of reclassification or detention.
Trade-remedy exposure depends on the specific species and country of origin, as antidumping or countervailing duty orders are species- and origin-specific rather than heading-wide. Importers should check the USITC and Commerce Department's active order lists for the specific species and supplier country before entry. Consult a licensed customs broker for a current assessment.
