0301.93.02.90 - Other

This classification, HTS Code 0301.93.02.90, pertains to live fish within the broader category of "Other live fish," specifically excluding those listed under the sibling category. It encompasses a wide variety of carp species and related fish that do not fall into the more specific grouping of grass carp, silver carp, and bighead carp. This category is intended for the classification of live carp and similar species when they are not individually identified by a more precise HTS code.

The key differentiator for this classification is its residual nature. Unlike the sibling category, which specifically enumerates grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus), silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), and bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis), this code is for all other live carp species and those that are taxonomically similar but not explicitly listed elsewhere at this level. This means that if a live carp or closely related fish is not one of the three species mentioned, it will generally be classified here.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification relies on the distinct identification of the species being imported or exported. Importers and exporters should carefully verify the scientific and common names of the live carp being traded to ensure accurate classification and compliance with customs regulations.
