Other

This code covers fresh, chilled, or frozen fish fillets and other fish meat, specifically those categorized as “other” within a broader fish and seafood classification. Use this code when importing these types of fish products, as the general duty is free for standard trade partners, or potentially eligible for preferential programs.

Detailed information for HTS Code 0304.49.01

This section of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers fresh, chilled, or frozen fish fillets and other fish meat, whether minced or not, falling within chapter 3, which generally concerns fish and other aquatic life. The code 0304.49.01 specifically addresses fillets of "other" fish, not specified elsewhere, and includes various statistical suffixes to identify the specific type of fish, such as pike, pickerel, whitefish, tilapia, or Atlantic ocean perch. If the fish doesn't fit into one of the named subdivisions like 0304.49.01.03 or 0304.49.01.90, use the "other" suffix to report it, ensuring accurate classification based on the fish species. Remember to select the most precise statistical suffix available to accurately reflect the type of fish being reported.
