Other

This code covers cuttlefish and squid, specifically “other” varieties not further specified. Use this code when importing these molluscs – whether live, fresh, frozen, or processed – as standard trade applies with no general duty, and it falls within the broader category of fish, crustaceans, and molluscs.

Detailed information for HTS Code 0307.49.01

This tariff code falls within Chapter 3, which covers fish, crustaceans, molluscs, and other aquatic invertebrates, excluding mammals and certain unfit or unsuitable products. Specifically, code 0307.49.01 covers cuttle fish and squid, categorized as ‘other’ within this group. Several subdivisions exist to further classify these products by species of squid (Loligo opalescens, Loligo pealei, or other) or simply as ‘other’ squid or other cuttlefish/squid, and these statistical suffixes should be used to provide more detailed import data. When reporting, choose the most specific statistical suffix that accurately describes the type of squid or cuttlefish/squid being imported.
