Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 030452 when importing or exporting fresh or chilled fish meat from the salmonidae family, such as salmon or trout. For example, if you're shipping a box of fresh salmon steaks, this code applies.
This code specifically covers fish meat that is not in fillet form, distinguishing it from HS-6 030441, which pertains to fresh or chilled salmon fillets. If your product is whole salmon or salmon chunks, use 030452.
The 030452 line includes various forms of salmonidae fish meat, whether it's whole, cut, or minced, as long as it’s fresh or chilled. This is crucial for compliance with customs regulations.
When dealing with salmonidae, ensure you understand the differences in classification. For instance, if your shipment includes frozen salmon, you would need to look at a different code, such as HS-6 030349.
