FAQ for this HTS code.

What is this HTS code?

This is a US Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) code that classifies "Tilapias (<i>Oreochromis spp</i>.), catfish (<i>Pangasius spp</i>., <i>Silurus sp</i>p., <i>Clarias spp</i>., I<i>ctalurus spp</i>.), carp (<i>Cyprinus spp</i>., <i>Carassius spp</i>., <i>Ctenopharyngodon idellus</i>, <i>Hypophthalmichthys spp</i>., <i>Cirrhinus spp</i>., <i>Mylopharyngodon piceus</i>, <i>Catla catla</i>, <i>Labeo spp</i>., <i>Osteochilus hasselti</i>, <i>Leptobarbus hoeveni</i>, <i>Megalobrama spp</i>.), eels (<i>Anguilla spp</i>.), Nile perch (<i>Lates niloticus</i>) and snakeheads (<i>Channa spp</i>.)". It determines base duty rates for imports; additional duties may apply by country of origin.

Does origin affect duty?

Yes. General and Special rates apply by trade agreement and origin. Additional duties (Section 301, 232, IEEPA) are origin-specific. Use the tariff calculator or resolve API with an origin to see full duty.

How do I compute total duty?

Use our tariff calculator (with HTS and optional origin) or the API endpoint GET /api/v1/tariffs/resolve with hts and origin. The API returns base tariffs and additional measures separately; sum as needed for your use case.
