Overview
This category, HTS Code 0301.11.00.90, encompasses live freshwater ornamental fish that do not fit into the specifically enumerated sibling categories. It serves as a residual category for all other types of live freshwater fish primarily intended for decorative or aesthetic purposes, such as in aquariums or ponds. This includes a wide variety of species commonly kept as pets, excluding the specific types listed under closely related subheadings.
The distinction from sibling categories is crucial for accurate classification. HTS Code 0301.11.00.10 specifically covers live ornamental Koi (common) carp (Cyprinus carpio), while HTS Code 0301.11.00.20 is designated for live ornamental Goldfish (Carassius auratus) and Crucian carp (Carassius carassius). Therefore, this "Other" category would include species like live ornamental angelfish, bettas, tetras, guppies, and various other freshwater species kept for their visual appeal, provided they are not the specific carp varieties mentioned.
As a leaf node within this classification structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification into this subheading relies on identifying the live freshwater fish as ornamental in purpose and ensuring it is not otherwise specifically provided for under the more granular sibling categories. The primary criterion is the ornamental nature of the fish, differentiating them from fish classified under chapter 03 for food purposes.
