Overview

This HTS category, 1604.12.60.10, specifically classifies fillets of herring that have been prepared by pickling. This means the fish have undergone a preservation process involving brining or marinating, often with vinegar, salt, and various spices. These fillets are intended for consumption and represent a prepared foodstuff derived from herring.

At this level, the distinction is between "Fillets" and "Other" pickled herring products. While sibling category 1604.12.60.30 encompasses any other form of pickled herring not falling under the specific "fillets" designation, this code is exclusively for the processed fish cut into distinct fillet shapes. This differentiation is crucial for accurate customs declarations and duty assessment.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification is definitive for pickled herring fillets. When classifying under this code, ensure the product consists of herring that has been filleted and subsequently preserved through pickling. Products that are simply whole or in pieces, or not pickled, would fall under different HTS codes.
