Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 030479 when importing or exporting frozen fish fillets from specific families like Bregmacerotidae or Gadidae, excluding popular types like cod or haddock. For instance, if you're shipping frozen fish fillets from the family Merlucciidae, this is the correct code.
This code applies to fish fillets that are frozen and belong to specific families, which helps distinguish them from other fish products. For example, if you have frozen fillets of the family Macrouridae, you would classify them under this HS-6.
In contrast, HS-6 0304 covers all fish fillets, while HS-6 030480 includes fresh or chilled fillets. If your product is frozen and from the specified families, use 030479 to ensure accurate classification.
Be aware that this classification excludes well-known fish like cod and Alaska pollock, which have their own specific codes. If you are unsure about the family of your fish fillets, consult with your supplier or a customs broker.
