Questions
HS code 051191: common questions
What is HS code 051191?
HS code 051191 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Animal products not elsewhere specified or included; dead animals of Chapter 1 or 3, unfit for human consumption : Other : Products of fish or crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates; dead animals of Chapter 3". The first two digits (05) are the chapter — Products of animal origin, not elsewhere specified — and digits 3-4 (0511) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 051191?
Common products classified under 051191 include fish meal, fish oil, crustacean meal, dead fish, fish waste and similar items matching products of fish or crustaceans. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 051191?
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 051191 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (051191) 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.
