HTS 0301 — Live fish Tariff Rate (2026)

Products classified under HTS 0301 — Live fish — are among the globally sourced imports entering the US. Live fish including ornamental fish, trout, eels, and carp. For aquaculture and aquarium trade. On top of the MFN rate, most non-EU imports under this heading carry the Section 301 forced-labor tariff — a two-tier 10%/12.5% duty that replaced the flat 10% Section 122 rate on July 24, 2026. EU-origin goods instead fall under the EU-US trade deal's 15% all-inclusive ceiling (effective July 1, 2026), where nothing stacks and goods with an MFN rate of 15% or more pay MFN only. Worked example: a $10,000 shipment under HTS 0301 owes about $0 in MFN duty (0%); adding the 10% base forced-labor surcharge brings it to roughly $1,000 from a standard-tier origin, or about $1,250 from a 12.5%-tier origin such as China.
