In bulk or in immediate containers weighing with their contents over 6.8 kg each

This code covers frozen fish fillets and other fish meat, shipped in bulk or immediate containers weighing over 6.8 kg each. Use this code when importing these larger-quantity frozen fish products, as the general duty is free for standard trade partners, and it falls within the broader category of fish and aquatic invertebrates.

Detailed information for HTS Code 0304.99.11

This code falls within the broader category of fish and aquatic invertebrates, specifically addressing fish fillets and other fish meat that is frozen and shipped in bulk or large containers weighing over 6.8 kg each. The code further distinguishes these products based on type, including minced fish like surimi, specific species like sole, Greenland turbot, ocean perch, pike, whitefish, tuna, or a general “other” category for those not specifically listed. When reporting, choose the statistical suffix that accurately reflects the specific type of fish being imported, prioritizing the detailed classifications before using the general “other” options; for example, 0304.99.11.50 would be used for frozen sole in bulk containers.
