Scaled (whether or not heads, viscera and/or fins have been removed, but not otherwise processed), in immediate containers weighing with their contents 6.8 kg or less
Analysis
HTS 0302.55.11 covers scaled (whether or not heads, viscera and/or fins have been removed, but not otherwise processed), in immediate containers weighing with their contents 6.8 kg… under heading 0302 (fish, fresh or chilled, excluding fish fillets and other fish meat of heading 0304).
The general duty rate is 3% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 03 (89th percentile of 272 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $300 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
Within this group the rate runs from duty-free to 3%. Compared with 0302.72.50 (catfish (Pangasius spp., Silurus spp., Clarias spp., Ictalurus spp.)…), which pays duty-free, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 3 percentage points.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 3%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 25%, 8.3 times the general rate.
