1603.00
Extracts and juices of meat, fish or crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates
Analysis
Subheading 1603.00 covers extracts and juices of meat, fish or crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates, within heading 1603. 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 2 US tariff lines below it are national.
The spread of 8.5 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 8.5%, applies to 1603.00.10 (extracts and juices of meat, fish or crustaceans…).
1 of its 2 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (50%) and 1 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 8.5%. The median line pays 4.25%.
The US splits it as follows: 1603.00.10 for extracts and juices of meat, fish or crustaceans, molluscs or other… (8.5%) and 1603.00.90 for extracts and juices of meat, fish or crustaceans, molluscs or other… (duty-free).
