Last updated: April 2026 dataFrozen fish species that do not fit the named headings for flatfish, tuna, herring, cod, mackerel, or hake are captured here as a residual category, making precise species identification on entry documents especially important for classification accuracy. This catch-all grouping can include commercially significant species such as pollock, snapper, grouper, and various tropical reef fish, each of which may carry distinct duty rates at the HTS 10-digit level. FDA admissibility and, for certain species, NOAA Seafood Import Monitoring Program requirements apply regardless of the residual classification.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Classification starts with the named headings — flatfish, tuna/skipjack, herring/sardines, cod, mackerel, and hake. Only species that genuinely do not fit any of those descriptions default to the NES heading. A licensed customs broker or a binding ruling request to CBP can resolve ambiguous cases, particularly for commercially important species like pollock or snapper that appear frequently in trade.
SIMP obligations are determined by species, not by SITC or HTS heading. Several species commonly classified as NES — including grouper and certain snappers — are covered by SIMP and require harvest and chain-of-custody reporting at entry regardless of their residual classification. Importers should check the current SIMP species list against the scientific name of each fish in the shipment.
