0304.91Higher: 16% vs 10%

If fresh or chilled instead of frozen

0305.31.01.00Higher: 35% vs 10%

If in airtight containers as fillets for retail

Frozen fish fillets in consumer-ready airtight packs classify under 0305 for retail-packed seafood, not bulk fillets.

If from non-specified Pacific/Atlantic species like coho but misidentified

Other frozen fish fillets not Pacific/Atlantic salmon go to 0304.89; species confirmation dictates exact Pacific salmon heading.

Import Tips & Compliance

Include commercial invoice specifying 'frozen fillets of Oncorhynchus gorbuscha' and net weight; avoid generic 'salmon' to prevent customs queries

Comply with USDC NOAA seafood import monitoring for IUU prevention; retain chain-of-custody docs for wild-caught Pacific salmon

Watch moisture content to avoid reclassification as 'minced'; pitfall is exceeding 15% glaze ice without declaration
