Chapter 03: Fish and Crustaceans
Chapter 03 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) focuses on the importation of fish and crustaceans, as well as mollusks and other aquatic invertebrates. This chapter encompasses a wide range of product categories, including fresh, frozen, dried, or smoked fish, shellfish like shrimp and crabs, and various types of mollusks such as clams and octopus. Common examples include Atlantic salmon, shrimp cocktail, canned tuna, and scallops. Industries that typically import these goods include seafood processing, food service, and retail grocery sectors, which rely heavily on high-quality aquatic products for their offerings. Importers should be aware of regulatory considerations, such as compliance with the Seafood Inspection Program, adherence to the FDA’s seafood safety regulations, and potential import restrictions based on sustainability practices or health standards. Understanding these complexities is crucial for business owners navigating the seafood trade, ensuring not only legal compliance but also the procurement of quality products for their consumers.
