About this HS Code
HS Code 1604 encompasses prepared or preserved fish products and caviar substitutes. The classification includes specific subcategories for whole/piece fish (1604.11-1604.19), prepared fish such as surimi (1604.20), caviar (1604.31), and caviar substitutes (1604.32). This value-added division represents processed outputs from capture fisheries and aquaculture. Major exporters include Thailand, Ecuador, and China. Products must meet strict food safety standards, catch documentation, and increasingly, sustainability certifications. Unlike fresh/frozen fish (HS 03 chapter), these shelf-stable preparations allow distribution without cold chain infrastructure in developing markets, while premium items like caviar occupy luxury market segments.
