Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

If tuna or skipjack instead of herring
Species-specific headings in 1604; tunas have separate subheadings with FAS duty exceptions.
If tomato sauce dominates as primary ingredient

Import Tips & Compliance
• Document kippering process (smoke-cured) to distinguish from plain tomato-packed herring under CBP review
• Use immediate container declarations on entry forms; repackaging post-import voids this classification
• Check for antidumping duties on specific origin herrings and include mill test reports for metal containers
