Overview
This HTS classification, 0302.11.00.10, specifically covers farmed rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) when presented fresh or chilled. The goods classified here are whole fish or parts thereof, excluding fillets and other fish meat that would fall under heading 0304. The scope is limited to species within the Salmonidae family, as defined by the broader subheading, but is narrowed down to include only trout, with specific scientific names listed in the parent category for clarity.
The primary distinction for this specific code lies in the farmed origin of the rainbow trout. While the sibling category 0302.11.00.90 accounts for "Other" trout within this classification level, this code is exclusively for rainbow trout that have been raised in aquaculture. This farmed status is a critical criterion for accurate classification, differentiating it from wild-caught or wild species of trout that would otherwise fall under the broader "Other" designation.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. The classification process concludes at this level, with the specific identification of "farmed rainbow trout" being the definitive characteristic for goods entered under this code. Therefore, any fresh or chilled trout that meets the Salmonidae family and trout species criteria, but is not farmed rainbow trout, would be directed to the sibling category 0302.11.00.90.
