0302.13.00.53 - Farmed

This HTS category specifically covers farmed Pacific salmon of the species *Oncorhynchus kisutch*, commonly known as Coho or Silver salmon. This classification applies to the whole fish, whether fresh or chilled, and excludes any processed forms such as fillets or other fish meat that would fall under heading 0304. The key defining characteristic for this category is the method of origin – these salmon must have been raised through aquaculture.

Distinction from its sibling category, 0302.13.00.54, is solely based on the farming aspect. The sibling category is reserved for Coho salmon that are wild-caught, meaning they were not raised in controlled aquatic environments. Therefore, if the Coho salmon is not explicitly documented as farmed, it would be classified under the "Not farmed" sibling.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is determined by the species (Pacific salmon, specifically Coho), condition (fresh or chilled), and the crucial distinction of being farmed.
