Flours, meals and pellets, of meat or meat offal, of fish or of crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates, unfit for human consumption; greaves (cracklings)
Analysis
Heading 2301 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers flours, meals and pellets, of meat or meat offal, of fish or of crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates, unfit for human consumption; greaves (cracklings). It divides into 2 six-digit subheadings and 2 eight-digit tariff lines, with 3 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
Every one of its 2 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the heading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.
Its median rate of duty-free sits at the 24th percentile of the headings in chapter 23.
The largest subheadings are 2301.10 (unnamed, 1 line) and 2301.20 (unnamed, 1 line).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Finfish Fishing (114111) and Rendering and Meat Byproduct Processing (311613). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
The heading text decides whether a product belongs here at all (General Rule of Interpretation 1); the subheadings and lines below it only apply once that is settled. Section and chapter notes can override the heading wording, so read them for borderline goods.
