HS-6 030910: Flours, meals and pellets of fish, fit for human consumption

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 030910 when importing or exporting flours, meals, and pellets made from fish that are suitable for human consumption. For example, if you're shipping fish meal used in food products or as a dietary supplement, this is the correct code.

This code specifically covers fish flours and meals, distinguishing them from similar products like crustacean meals under HS-6 030920. While both are derived from aquatic sources, 030910 is strictly for fish, which can include species like salmon or tuna processed into meal form.

When classifying products, it's important to note that HS-6 030910 does not include meals made from molluscs, which fall under a different subheading. Ensure your product is primarily fish-based to avoid misclassification.

Common forms of fish meal include powdered or granular products, often packaged in bulk for further processing in food manufacturing or animal feed. If your shipment consists of dried fish powder intended for human consumption, this code applies.
