Overview
This HTS category, 0301.19.00.00, specifically covers "Other" ornamental fish. Following the broader classification of live fish and then ornamental fish, this category is for those ornamental species that are not freshwater. It serves as a residual category for any ornamental fish that do not fall under the more specific subheading for freshwater varieties.
The key distinction for this category lies in the habitat of the fish. While 0301.11.00 is dedicated to ornamental fish originating from or primarily living in freshwater environments, this category encompasses all other ornamental fish. This typically includes, but is not limited to, various marine species commonly kept in aquariums and saltwater environments, such as certain types of angelfish, butterflyfish, and damselfish, provided they meet the criteria for ornamental fish.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the practical application of this classification relies on clearly identifying the species as ornamental and confirming its non-freshwater origin. Importers and exporters must carefully consult species-specific guides or expert opinions when classifying ornamental fish that are not definitively freshwater to ensure correct application of this "Other" ornamental fish subheading.
