Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If in bulk packaging over 6.8kg
Same scaled Gadidae fish but in larger immediate containers shifts to subheading for bulk trade, higher volume shipments.
If frozen instead of chilled
Frozen scaled fish of these families moves to Chapter 3 heading 0303, as temperature state determines fresh/chilled vs frozen distinction.
If filleted or further processed beyond scaling
Fillets or meat from these fish species classify under heading 0304, excluding whole/scaled forms in 0302.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify fish species belongs to Gadidae family (e.g
• whiting) via scientific documentation to confirm HTS classification
• Ensure immediate containers ≤6.8kg gross weight; provide weight certificates to avoid reclassification to bulk headings
• Maintain cold chain documentation (≤4°C) for 'chilled' status; FDA prior notice required for seafood imports
