in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Wherever U.S. law uses "products of American fisheries," that term excludes certain fish products. It doesn't cover fresh or frozen fish fillets, steaks, or boneless slices. This exclusion applies when foreign, non-U.S. workers made them abroad.

Wherever a U.S. statute, or an administrative bureau's ruling, regulation, or interpretation, uses the term "products of American fisheries," that term does not include certain fish products. Specifically excluded are fresh or frozen fish fillets, fresh or frozen fish steaks, and fresh or frozen fish slices that are substantially free of bone — including any of these cut into sections. This exclusion applies when those products were made in a foreign country or its territorial waters, at least partly using the labor of people who don't live in the United States.
