Fish and crustaceans, molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates

97 HTS codes in this chapter

Animal products

Chapters 1 through 5 of the Harmonized System cover live animals and animal products, including meats, fish, dairy, and other edible products of animal origin. Importing these products is subject to strict sanitary and phytosanitary controls established by SENASICA in Mexico and USDA/FDA in the United States. Tariff fractions in these chapters require prior import permits, zoosanitary certificates from the country of origin, and in many cases inspection at the point of entry. Proper regulatory compliance is essential to avoid customs rejections and administrative penalties.
