Any separated fish meat/fillets defaults to heading 0304, superseding whole fish classifications.
If dried, salted, or in brine
Dried/salted fish of 0305 excludes fresh/chilled; preservation method changes chapter.
If from specific exclusions like tuna, but misidentified
Subheadings 0302.91-0302.99 exclude certain species; sablefish is 'other' but errors shift it.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Use 'sablefish' or 'Anoplopoma fimbria' explicitly on commercial invoice; trade names like 'black cod' alone may trigger scrutiny
• Obtain prior notice via FDA PARS system 2-8 hours pre-arrival for seafood safety compliance
• Verify container gross/net weights; over 6.8kg risks duty recalculation to bulk rates
