Analysis
Subheading 0309.90 covers other, within heading 0309. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 7 US tariff lines below it are national.
Every one of its 7 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the subheading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.
The US splits it as follows: 0309.90.10 for of crustaceans: frozen (duty-free), 0309.90.20 for live, fresh, or chilled (duty-free), 0309.90.30 for of crustaceans: other (duty-free), 0309.90.40 for live, fresh or chilled (duty-free), 0309.90.50 for of molluscs: frozen (duty-free), 0309.90.60 for of molluscs: other (duty-free) and 0309.90.90 for other: other (duty-free).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Shellfish Fishing (114112). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
