This code covers fresh or chilled fish, excluding fillets and other specific fish meat, and is used to classify a wide variety of fish species – from freshwater bass and pike to ocean perch and snapper. Typically duty-free for standard trade partners, this code falls within Chapter 3 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, dedicated to fish, crustaceans, and molluscs.

Detailed information for HTS Code 0302.89.50

This section of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers live, fresh, or chilled fish and aquatic invertebrates, excluding certain mammals and products unfit for human consumption as detailed in the chapter notes. Code 0302.89.50 specifically addresses “other” fish, excluding fillets and offal, that aren’t elsewhere specified within this section. Numerous statistical suffixes exist under this code, each representing a specific type of fish like Pike, Pickerel, or Sable fish, so select the suffix that accurately identifies the fish being classified; if a specific fish isn’t listed, use the ‘other’ suffix (0302.89.50.77). These statistical suffixes provide a more granular level of reporting for trade data.

The general duty rate for HTS code 0302.89.50 and all its subdivisions is Free, meaning no duty is assessed for standard trade partners (NTR). Special rates are not specified, but may apply if the goods qualify for an eligible Free Trade Agreement or preference program. Reporting units are in kilograms (kg). This means that regardless of the specific type of fish within the subdivisions (e.g., Pike, Pickerel, Sablefish), if imported from a country with standard trade relations, there is no duty assessed, and potentially a reduced or eliminated duty if the country has a preferential trade agreement with the importing nation.
