Agreements with no rule specific to this code
This code carries a preferential rate under the agreements below but has no line of its own in the product-specific rules annex. The goods must still meet an origin requirement.
The agreement sets a general rule for codes outside the annex:
1. The goods referred to in Clause 3, Article 5 of this Circular, other than the goods provided in Clause 2 of this Article, are considered originating if they have an RVC of not less than 40% calculated in accordance with Article 8 of this Circular.
Source: Circular No. 21/2019/TT-BCT · Article 7(1)
The agreement sets a general rule for codes outside the annex:
1. Products referred to in Clause 2, Article 2 are considered originating if:
a) The AIFTA content is not less than thirty-five per cent (35%) of the FOB value; and
b) The non-originating materials used in the production of that product have undergone a change in tariff classification at the six (6)-digit level (CTSH) of the Harmonized System.
provided that the last production process is carried out in the territory of the exporting Member State.
CTSH
Source: Circular No. 15/2010/TT-BCT · Article 4(1) of Appendix 1
The agreement sets NO general rule. Apart from wholly obtained goods and goods produced entirely from originating materials, the only route is to meet the annex — and no annex line matches this code, so check the circular itself:
a) They are wholly obtained or produced entirely in a Party under Article 4 of this Appendix; or
b) They are produced entirely in one or both Parties, exclusively from materials originating in one or both Parties; or
c) They are produced in a Party using non-originating materials and satisfy the product specific rules provided in Appendix II to this Circular.
Source: Circular No. 21/2016/TT-BCT · Article 3 of Appendix I
The agreement sets a general rule for codes outside the annex:
1. General origin criterion
a) Goods specified in Clause 2 of Article 2 shall be considered as originating in the Member State where the working or processing of those goods has taken place if:
- The goods have a regional value content (hereinafter referred to as the “Viet Nam - Laos value content” or the “regional value content (LVC)”) of not less than forty percent (40%), calculated in accordance with the formula provided in Article 5; or
- All non-originating materials used in the production of those goods have undergone a change in tariff classification (hereinafter referred to as “CTC”) at the four (4)-digit level (meaning a change of heading) of the Harmonized System.
b) Each Member State shall allow the exporter of the goods to decide to use either of the two criteria “LVC of not less than forty percent (40%)” or “change in tariff classification at the four (04)-digit level” referred to at point a of Clause 1 in order to determine the origin of the goods.

Vietnam trade in subheading 0511.91

2024: as reported by partner countries
Vietnam has not filed 2024 yet, so this is rebuilt from what its 19 largest trading partners reported about trade with Vietnam (85% of Vietnam's trade). Not the same measure as the figures above — compare it only with the 2023 row beside it.
| 2023 | 2024 | Change | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exports | 5 mn USD | 7 mn USD | +40% |
| Imports | 34 mn USD | 40 mn USD | +17% |
- Exports 2023: partners reported 5 mn USD where Vietnam reported 23 mn USD — 0.23× on this measure.
- Imports 2023: partners reported 34 mn USD where Vietnam reported 34 mn USD — 1.01× on this measure.
The gap is not a rounding difference: goods re-exported through Hong Kong or Singapore, a different heading chosen by the importing customs, and origin-based versus destination-based attribution all pull the two measures apart. Use the year-on-year change, not the level.

Corresponding US tariff lines
Six digits are identical worldwide under the HS Convention, so 0511.91 is the same subheading in both schedules. What differs is how each country splits it: below are the 2 US lines under 0511.91.
| US HTS code | Description | General duty |
|---|---|---|
| 0511.91.00.10 | Other › Products of fish or crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates; dead animals of chapter 3 › Fertilized fish eggs(kg) | Free |
| 0511.91.00.90 | Other › Products of fish or crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates; dead animals of chapter 3 › Other(kg) | Free |
Additional Chapter 99 duties apply to goods of Vietnam
- 9903.02.69 +20% — The duty provided in the applicable subheading + 20%
- 9903.05.84 +12.5% — The duty provided in the applicable subheading + 12.5%
These are added to the General duty above, not in place of it. Whether a given article falls inside their scope — and the exclusion lists — is set out in the U.S. notes to Chapter 99, which are prose and not machine-readable, so this site does not assign them per code. Check the official schedule before quoting a landed cost.
Already terminated: 9903.01.72 +46%
The General column is the rate for Vietnam: the Special column lists US preference programmes (GSP, USMCA, KORUS…) and Vietnam is in none of them. Source: USITC Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States — 2026 HTS Revision 13. For reference only — classification on import is decided by US Customs, and anti-dumping, countervailing and Section 232/301 measures are not covered here.
Corresponding Japanese tariff lines
0511.91 is the same subheading in both schedules (six digits are identical worldwide under the HS Convention). Vietnamese goods can enter Japan under four parallel preference routes — the columns below — and the exporter picks whichever C/O gives the better rate.
| Line | Description | MFN | VJEPA | AJCEP | CPTPP | RCEP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0511.91 | Products of fish or crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates; dead animals of Chapter 3 › 1 Fish waste, fertile fish eggs for hatching and artemia salina's eggs | Free | — | — | — | — |
| 0511.91-200 | Products of fish or crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates; dead animals of Chapter 3 › 2 Other(KG) | 1.7% | Free | Free | Free | 1.1% |
MFN is the lowest of the schedule's General/Temporary/WTO columns (hover to see all three). The preference columns require the matching certificate of origin; an em dash means that agreement gives no preference for the line. Source: Japan's Tariff Schedule, Japan Customs (as of July 9, 2026). For reference only — classification on import is decided by Japan Customs.
