Overview
This HTS classification, 0302.13.00.14, specifically covers fresh or chilled Pacific salmon, identified as Chinook (king) salmon, that are **not farmed**. This designation distinguishes them from their farmed counterparts, focusing on their origin from natural wild populations. These are whole fish, not processed into fillets or other meat forms, and are intended for direct consumption or further processing after importation.
The critical distinction for this subcategory lies in its origin: wild-caught. While sibling category 0302.13.00.13 covers farmed Chinook salmon, this entry exclusively pertains to Pacific salmon of the Chinook variety that have been harvested from their natural marine or freshwater environments. Both categories fall under the broader heading of Pacific salmon, but the method of acquisition (wild vs. farmed) is the defining characteristic for classification at this level.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification ends at this level, meaning that specific details regarding the presentation, such as whether it is headed, gutted, or frozen, are not addressed in further subdivisions. Importers must rely on the defined origin and species to correctly classify their fresh or chilled Chinook salmon under this code.
