Fresh Haddock Loins from Mexico
Fresh haddock loins are premium boneless cuts taken from haddock, a member of the Gadidae family, and are offered fresh or chilled for use in high-end restaurants. This product qualifies under tariff item 0304.53.00 as 'other fish meat' of the specified families, provided it is not minced or formed into pellets. The fresh or chilled state distinguishes it from frozen products that would fall under other headings.

Import Tips
• Ensure the loins are fresh or chilled at the time of import and not previously frozen, as frozen products fall under a different tariff item
• Maintain proper documentation of the species (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) to confirm classification under the Gadidae family
• Verify that no binders or additives have been used, as this could change the tariff classification
