Questions
HS code 030443: common questions
What is HS code 030443?
HS code 030443 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Fish fillets and other fish meat (whether or not minced), fresh, chilled or frozen : Fresh or chilled fillets of other fish : Flat fish (Pleuronectidae, Bothidae, Cynoglossidae, Soleidae, Scophthalmidae and Citharidae)". The first two digits (03) are the chapter — Fish and crustaceans, molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates — and digits 3-4 (0304) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 030443?
Common products classified under 030443 include flatfish fillets, sole fillets, flounder fillets, turbot fillets, plaice fillets and similar items matching flat fish. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 030443?
Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.
Is HS code 030443 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (030443) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.
Can I trust the HS code a 1688 supplier gives me?
Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
