Reading code 0303

The first two digits (03) place this code in chapter 03 — Fish and Aquatic Invertebrates. As a 4-digit heading it groups a whole product family; 6 and 8-digit codes underneath it get more specific. Remember: you can never invent a shorter code by truncating a longer one — only codes that exist in the official tariff are valid.

Fish, crustaceans, molluscs, and other aquatic invertebrates — fresh, chilled, frozen, or processed. Fresh fish is typically exempt; processed forms are taxed.
