Last updated: April 2026 dataA residual catch-all for prepared or preserved fish that does not fall under the named species headings for herring, tuna, or mackerel, this category encompasses a wide range of commercially significant products — from smoked salmon and pickled anchovies to preserved cod and other specialty items. The 'not minced' qualifier is the key structural boundary separating these products from fish pastes and minced preparations. FDA prior notice, seafood HACCP compliance, and country-of-origin labeling requirements apply uniformly across all fish preparations entering the US. Correct species identification in entry documentation is critical because many fish in this residual heading have specific FDA labeling standards or are subject to CITES controls.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Certain sturgeon, toothfish (Patagonian and Antarctic), and other commercially exploited species listed on CITES Appendices require export permits and US import documentation from the Fish and Wildlife Service. Importers should verify CITES status for any species not commonly traded before shipment.
Classification follows the species of fish: named-species headings (herring, tuna, mackerel) take precedence, and only fish not covered by those specific headings fall into this NES category. When a product contains multiple species or an unlisted species, a licensed customs broker can help determine the correct SITC and HTS classification.
