Alternative Classifications

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

1604.11.40Same rate: 35%

If salmon instead of herring

Heading 1604.11 dedicated to salmon; species drives primary classification in prepared fish.

0710.80.70Higher: 46.3% vs 35%

If dried and not sauced

Unsauced dried legumes/veggies analogy, but for fish, dried excludes sauce and goes to dehydrated provisions.

1605Lower: 10% vs 35%

If not fish but other aquatic invertebrates

Chapter notes tie 1605 to Chapter 3 species; shrimp products follow 1605, not 1604 fish.
