Last updated: April 2026 dataA broad residual heading for salted-but-not-dried, not-smoked fish and fish held in brine that are not captured by the species-specific cod or anchovy headings, this category encompasses a commercially diverse range of products including salted herring, salted mackerel, and various brine-packed species traded into ethnic and specialty food markets. Because the heading is defined by exclusion — not cod, not anchovies, not dried, not smoked — precise product descriptions on entry documents are essential to avoid reclassification. FDA seafood HACCP and facility registration requirements apply to all such imports.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Importers should include detailed commercial invoices specifying species (common and scientific name), preservation method (salt-only vs. brine), moisture content, and processing records from the foreign establishment. This documentation demonstrates that the product does not belong under a more specific heading (such as cod or anchovies) and supports the declared classification if CBP initiates a review.
Yes, salted herring and mackerel are among the more frequently traded species in this residual category. Trade-remedy exposure — including antidumping or countervailing duties — is species- and origin-specific, so importers should check active Commerce Department orders for the particular species and country of origin before filing entry. Consult a licensed customs broker for a current compliance assessment.
