1605.29.10

Analysis

HTS 1605.29.10 covers other: other under heading 1605 (crustaceans, molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates, prepared or preserved). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.

Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 10%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 1605.56.15 (boiled clams, whether whole, minced or chopped, and whether or not…), at 10%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 10 percentage points.

For statistics it divides in two: 1605.29.10.10 for frozen, imported in accordance with statistical note 1 to… and 1605.29.10.40 for other, imported in accordance with statistical note 1 to…. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.

Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 46% of the 108 tariff lines in chapter 16. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
