Last updated: April 2026 dataSalted and brined anchovies — a staple ingredient in Mediterranean, Southeast Asian, and Latin American cuisines — are classified across four US tariff lines that distinguish container size and packaging type: airtight containers at or under 6.8 kg (0305632000), other containers at or under 6.8 kg (0305634000), and bulk or other formats (0305636000), with a legacy line (0305630000) also present. South Korea leads supply, followed by Argentina, Malaysia, China, and Japan — a supplier mix that spans both fermented Asian-style anchovies and European-style salt-packed product. USDA FSIS admissibility requirements apply to all entries. Container weight and airtightness are the operative classification variables, so importers must confirm packaging specifications before filing.

The distinction reflects historical tariff structure and affects which 10-digit line applies: airtight containers at or under 6.8 kg each fall under 0305632000, while non-airtight containers of the same size fall under 0305634000, and larger or other formats under 0305636000. Importers must confirm both the container's net weight and whether it meets the airtight definition to select the correct line and avoid reclassification.
Lightly salted or brined whole anchovies generally classify here under 0305.63. However, heavily fermented or seasoned anchovy pastes and sauces — where the fish is no longer recognizable as a whole or piece — may classify under Chapter 16 (prepared fish) or Chapter 21 (sauces and condiments). The degree of processing and the form of the fish at import are the key factors; a licensed customs broker should review the product specification.
