US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in metric tons.
For statistics it divides in two: 2301.20.00.10 for herring meal; pilchard meal and 2301.20.00.90 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 48% of the 23 tariff lines in chapter 23 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.
The other line in the same group is 2301.10.00 (flours, meals and pellets, of meat or meat offal; greaves…, duty-free).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 114111 (Finfish Fishing), an industry of 1,436 US establishments employing 2,739 people, the industry a domestic producer of these goods reports under.
