Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS classification, 0305.69.30.00, covers "Other" fish products that fall within the broader category of fish, dried, salted or in brine; smoked fish, whether or not cooked before or during the smoking process. Specifically, it encompasses fish that are salted but not dried or smoked, or fish preserved in brine, excluding edible fish offal. The "Other" designation indicates that it captures products within this group that are not otherwise specified by more granular subheadings.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 0305.69.20.00, which specifically classifies fish in immediate containers weighing 6.8 kg or less each. Therefore, 0305.69.30.00 would include bulk shipments or products packaged in containers exceeding this weight limit, provided they meet the other criteria of being salted or in brine and not dried or smoked.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 0305.69.30.00 is determined by the absence of specific alternative classifications for salted or brined fish within Chapter 3, and by the product not being dried or smoked. Examples could include large tubs of salted herring or bulk quantities of cod in brine intended for further processing.
