Analysis
HTS 0301.92.00 covers eels (Anguilla spp.) under heading 0301 (live fish).
There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 86% of the 272 tariff lines in chapter 03 that are also free. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 112511 (Finfish Farming and Fish Hatcheries), the industry a domestic producer of these goods reports under.
All 7 neighbouring lines carry the same duty-free rate, so a borderline choice between them changes the statistics reported, not the duty paid.
The general rate of Free has not changed in any edition of the schedule since Jan 2023.
