Last updated: August 2026 dataThis HS10 residual code is the final catch-all classification for live fish within the U.S. tariff schedule, covering species not captured by any other 10-digit code under heading 030199. It is commonly used for diverse ornamental, aquaculture, and food fish species that lack a dedicated classification. Importers dealing with unusual or newly traded species frequently default to this code pending formal CBP classification rulings.

Code 0301990390 should only be used after confirming that no other 10-digit HTSUS code more specifically describes the live fish being imported. It is a true residual classification of last resort within heading 030199.
Yes. Importers uncertain about classification can request a binding ruling from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) before importation. This provides legal certainty and protects against reclassification penalties.
Many ornamental and aquarium fish species are imported under this residual code when no species-specific 10-digit classification exists. Importers should also check CITES appendices and USFWS requirements for protected ornamental species.
