0305.63.60.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 0305.63.60.00, specifically classifies anchovies (Engraulis spp.) that are packed in immediate containers weighing 6.8 kilograms or less each. These anchovies can be dried, salted, or preserved in brine. The key defining characteristic for this classification is the combination of the specific fish species (anchovies) and their packaging size, which is crucial for distinguishing them from bulk shipments or anchovies prepared in different ways at higher levels of the HTS.

While the broader parent category encompasses other types of salted or brined fish, this subcategory narrows the focus solely to anchovies. The "other" description at this level indicates that within the context of anchovies packed in small containers, this specific code captures them regardless of whether they are dried, salted, or simply preserved in brine. It's important to note that if the anchovies were smoked, they would fall under a different primary heading.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification at this level is definitive. Importers and exporters should verify that their anchovy product meets the criteria of being an anchovy, salted or in brine, and presented in individual containers not exceeding 6.8 kilograms in net weight to correctly apply this HTS code.
