2026年国际买家实用参考指南：石斑鱼、虾、鱿鱼和香料的HS编码；东盟自贸协定关税优惠；以及如何确定实际进口税率。
- ✓HS codes are the universal classification system for traded goods — they determine your import duty rate and any non-tariff measures (certificates, quotas) at the destination port. Getting the HS code wrong delays clearance.
- ✓Key Indonesian seafood HS codes: Fresh/chilled grouper 0302.19, Frozen shrimp 0306.17, Squid frozen 0307.43, Cloves 0907.10, Black pepper 0904.11.
- ✓Indonesia has ASEAN Free Trade Agreements (ATIGA) and the RCEP agreement offering preferential (0%) tariff rates for most seafood to ASEAN, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand markets.
- ✓For EU imports: Indonesia qualifies for GSP (Generalised Scheme of Preferences) for some seafood categories — verify each HS code separately as GSP eligibility varies by product.
Why HS Codes Matter for Seafood Buyers
The Harmonized System (HS) code is a standardized numerical classification of traded products maintained by the World Customs Organization (WCO). Every product that crosses an international border is classified under a 6-digit HS code (further extended to 8–10 digits by importing countries). The HS code determines:
- —The MFN (Most Favored Nation) import duty rate
- —Eligibility for Free Trade Agreement preferential rates
- —Non-tariff measures: import permits, sanitary certificates, quotas
- —Statistical reporting requirements
Getting the HS code wrong leads to customs delays, reclassification, and potential penalties. The following codes are verified against the WCO HS 2022 Edition and are applicable at the 6-digit level globally.

ASEAN FTA Preferential Rates
Indonesia is a member of the ASEAN Free Trade Area and several additional bilateral trade agreements. Under the RCEP (Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership) and ATIGA (ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement):
| Destination | Agreement | Rate for Most Seafood |
|---|---|---|
| ASEAN Members (SG, MY, TH, PH, VN) | ATIGA | 0% (Form D) |
| China | ASEAN-China FTA / RCEP | 0% for most fish (Form E) |
| Japan | AJCEP / RCEP | 0–5% depending on product |
| South Korea | ASEAN-Korea FTA | 0% for most fish |
| Australia | AIFTA / RCEP | 0% |
| India | AIFTA | 5–10% depending on product |
How to claim preferential rates: The Indonesian exporter must provide a Certificate of Origin (Form D for ASEAN, Form E for ASEAN-China, or equivalent RCEP certificate) issued by the Indonesian Ministry of Trade. The importer submits this with the customs declaration.
EU Import Duties (Indonesian Seafood)
Indonesia qualifies for EU Generalised Scheme of Preferences (GSP) for some product categories. However, GSP eligibility must be verified per HS code — not all Indonesian seafood qualifies.
- —Grouper (fresh): MFN rate typically 2–5%, GSP rate 0%
- —Shrimp (frozen): MFN 12%, GSP may apply — verify current status
- —Squid (frozen): MFN 6–8%
- —Fish fillets (frozen): MFN 7.5–13%
The EU-Indonesia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) is under negotiation as of 2026 — when completed, it may eliminate most seafood tariffs for Indonesian exporters.
US Import Duties
The US does not have an FTA with Indonesia. Indonesian seafood enters under MFN rates:
- —Shrimp (frozen, shell-on): 0% (tariff-free under HTSUS)
- —Fish fillets (frozen): 0–3% depending on species
- —Squid: 0–3%
The US also applies a Section 201 or countervailing duty review periodically for shrimp — check current USITC rates before finalizing pricing.

为何HS编码对海产品买家至关重要
协调制度（HS）编码是国际贸易商品的标准化分类体系。每批跨境货物都按HS编码分类，该编码决定进口关税税率、优惠贸易协定资格以及非关税措施。HS编码错误将导致清关延误、重新分类和潜在处罚。
主要印度尼西亚海产品HS编码
| 产品 | HS编码（6位） | 说明 |
|---|---|---|
| 新鲜/冰鲜石斑鱼 | 0302.19 | 新鲜或冰鲜鱼（非鱼片）— 其他海鱼 |
| 冷冻虾 | 0306.17 | 冷冻虾 |
| 冷冻鱿鱼 | 0307.43 | 冷冻墨鱼和鱿鱼 |
| 丁香（整颗） | 0907.10 | 丁香（整颗） |
| 黑胡椒（整粒） | 0904.11 | 整粒胡椒 |
