This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If blocks weigh 4.5 kg or less
Smaller frozen blocks of skinned fillets for processing fall under the under-4.5kg subheading.

Pellets or flours from fish made human-consumable are excluded from 0304-0308 and go to heading 0309.
If from hake or ling species misidentified

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit end-use certificate from U.S. buyer confirming intent to mince or cut into uniform pieces to support classification
• Test for histamine levels and provide lab certificates, as pickerel is prone to scombrotoxin issues in frozen form
• Use refrigerated containers with temperature recorders; deviations can trigger FDA detention without proper justification
