0301.99.03 - Other

This HTS classification, 0301.99.03, pertains to "Other" live fish that do not fall under the more specific subheadings within the "Other live fish" category (0301.9). Following the exclusion of specific species like trout, eels, carp, and various tunas, this classification serves as a residual category for live fish. It is intended for aquatic life that possesses the characteristics of fish but has not been separately enumerated in preceding subheadings at the six-digit level.

The primary distinction of this category lies in its breadth, encompassing any live fish not explicitly listed in sibling categories such as 0301.91.00.00 (Trout), 0301.92.00.00 (Eels), 0301.93.02 (Carp), 0301.94.01.00 (Atlantic and Pacific bluefin tunas), or 0301.95.00.00 (Southern Bluefin tunas). Therefore, any species of live fish that does not meet the defined criteria for these specialized classifications would logically fall under this residual "Other" designation.

Within this "Other" classification, further subdivisions exist to provide more granular categorization. The subcategories 0301.99.03.10 and 0301.99.03.15 specifically identify Tench (Tinca tinca) and Sheatfish (Silurus glanis), as well as Bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis), respectively. The remaining live fish that do not fit these more specific sub-classifications are then directed to the ultimate residual subheading, 0301.99.03.90, ensuring comprehensive coverage of all live fish not otherwise specified.
