HS Code 230120

HS code 230120 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Flours, meals and pellets, of meat or meat offal, of fish or of crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates, unfit for human consumption; greaves : Flours, meals and pellets, of fish or of crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates". The first two digits (23) are the chapter — Residues and waste from the food industries; prepared animal fodder — and digits 3-4 (2301) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 230120 include fish meal, fish flour, fish pellets, crustacean meal, seafood meal, aquatic feed and similar items matching flours. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

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.

The first 6 digits (230120) 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.

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.
