Analysis
HTS 0305.64.10 covers in immediate containers weighing with their contents 6.8 kg or less each under heading 0305 (fish, dried, salted or in brine; smoked fish, whether or not cooked before or during the…).
Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 7.5%. The costliest confusion would be with 0305.20.20 (livers, roes and milt of fish, dried, smoked, salted or in brine…) at 7.5%, a difference of 7.5 points on the customs value.
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.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 25% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 25% duty.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 311710 (Seafood Product Preparation and Packaging), an industry of 516 US establishments employing 29,132 people, the industry a domestic producer of these goods reports under.
