The US tariff schedule distinguishes between salted herrings in containers with net contents of 6.8 kg or less (0305612000) and all other salted or brined herrings (0305614000). This distinction reflects retail versus bulk/foodservice packaging norms. Importers must declare accurate net weights per container on entry documentation to ensure the correct 10-digit line is applied.
No. The heading explicitly requires that the product be 'not dried or smoked.' Any degree of drying — even partial — moves the product to heading 030554 (herrings dried, whether or not salted, but not smoked). The processing method should be confirmed with the foreign supplier and documented to support classification.
