About heading 1604

Heading 1604 covers prepared or preserved fish; caviar and caviar substitutes prepared from fish eggs. It splits into 10 six-digit subheadings and 9 US tariff lines, 3 of which are duty-free under the general rate.

Headings are the four-digit level of the Harmonized System — the layer that is identical across all 160-plus countries that use it. The six-digit subheading is also international; the last two digits of each code here are US-specific and do not carry across to another country's tariff.
