About heading 1604

Prepared or preserved fish; caviar and caviar substitutes prepared from fish eggs

Heading 1604 covers fish that has been prepared or preserved, plus caviar and caviar substitutes made from fish eggs. The heading splits first by species (salmon, herring, sardines, tuna, mackerel, anchovies, eels, shark fins, other fish), then by how the fish is packed: in oil or not, in airtight containers or not, container weight, and whether it is minced, breaded or made into pastes and balls. Caviar and caviar substitutes sit in their own subheadings at the end.
