Overview
This HTS category, 0301.99.03.10, specifically classifies live tench (Tinca tinca) and live sheatfish (Silurus glanis). These fish are typically imported or exported for aquaculture, stocking purposes, or for consumption. Their classification under "Other live fish" reflects that they are not specifically listed under more granular subheadings within the live fish chapter.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 0301.99.03.15 covers live bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis). While both fall under "Other live fish," the key difference lies in the specific species identified. This heading is for tench and sheatfish, whereas the sibling is exclusively for bighead carp. The remaining sibling, 0301.99.03.90, serves as a catch-all for any other live fish not otherwise specified.
As this classification is a leaf node, it does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification into this specific HTS code relies entirely on the accurate identification of the imported or exported species as either tench or sheatfish, ensuring it is not covered by more specific headings within Chapter 03, such as ornamental fish or those intended for therapeutic purposes.
