Import Tips
• Verify container net weight including contents does not exceed 6.8 kg to qualify for this subheading; heavier packs shift to 1604.16.80
• Provide species certification (Engraulis encrasicolus) and processing details to avoid reclassification under live fish headings
• Include commercial invoice specifying 'anchovies, whole/pieces, not minced' to prevent customs disputes
