HS-6 · Subheading

Fish fillets; fresh or chilled, toothfish (Dissostichus spp.)

Heading 0304 — Fish fillets and other fish meat (whether or not minced); fresh, chilled or frozen

Chapter 03: Fish and crustaceans

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 030446 when importing or exporting fresh or chilled fillets of toothfish, commonly known as Chilean sea bass. For instance, a shipment of vacuum-packed toothfish fillets for a restaurant supply would fall under this code.

This code specifically applies to fillets from toothfish (Dissostichus spp.), distinguishing them from other fish fillets like cod or haddock, which are classified under different HS codes. If you have a shipment of fresh cod fillets, you would need to look at HS-6 030462 instead.

Toothfish fillets are often sold fresh or chilled, and they are prized for their rich flavor and firm texture. If you are dealing with frozen toothfish, you would use a different classification, such as HS-6 030447.

When classifying toothfish fillets, ensure that the product is indeed fresh or chilled, as this impacts the applicable HS code. Proper documentation, including invoices and packing lists, should clearly state the product type to avoid customs issues.
