Aquatic invertebrates; other than crustaceans, molluscs, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, and jellyfish, prepared or preserved
HS subheading 1605.69 identifies Aquatic invertebrates; other than crustaceans, molluscs, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, and jellyfish, prepared or preserved — a six-digit classification under Chapter 16 used to set duty and paperwork.
Sourcing this category from India
HS 1605.69 covers Aquatic invertebrates; other than crustaceans, molluscs, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, and jellyfish, prepared or preserved. It is a leaf classification, so it sets the duty line directly for goods that fall under it. India's value-added marine sector exports breaded, cooked and canned shrimp and fish preparations.
How to read this code
1605.69 is the six-digit HS subheading. Your destination country extends it to 8–10 digits and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty for many goods — check our import guides for your market.
