Overview
This HTS category encompasses live freshwater ornamental fish specifically identified as Goldfish (*Carassius auratus*) and Crucian carp (*Carassius carassius*). These fish are primarily kept for aesthetic purposes in aquariums, ponds, and water gardens, rather than for consumption or other commercial uses. The classification focuses on the species rather than their size, age, or specific breeding characteristics, provided they meet the criteria of being live and ornamental.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 0301.11.00.10 covers Koi (common) carp (*Cyprinus carpio*), which are also ornamental freshwater fish but represent a distinct species. The residual category, 0301.11.00.90, serves to capture any other types of freshwater ornamental fish not specifically enumerated in the preceding subheadings. Therefore, classification within 0301.11.00.20 is based on the precise identification of Goldfish or Crucian carp.
As a leaf node within the HTS structure, this category does not have further subcategories. All relevant live freshwater ornamental fish falling under the umbrella of Goldfish and Crucian carp are classified here directly. This ensures a clear and direct classification for these commonly recognized ornamental species, simplifying the import and export process by eliminating the need for further subdivision.
