0302.14.00.04 - Not farmed

This HTS category, 0302.14.00.04, specifically classifies fresh or chilled Atlantic salmon (*Salmo salar*) and Danube salmon (*Hucho hucho*) that have been caught in the wild. This means the fish were harvested from their natural aquatic environments, as opposed to being raised in controlled aquaculture settings. The classification hinges on the origin of the fish, distinguishing them from those produced through farming operations.

It is crucial to differentiate this entry from its sibling, HTS code 0302.14.00.03, which covers farmed Atlantic and Danube salmon. The defining characteristic for classification here is the absence of aquaculture. Therefore, when classifying these particular species of salmon, traders must ascertain whether the product was wild-caught or farm-raised to ensure accurate declaration and duty assessment.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 0302.14.00.04. The classification ends at this specific designation for not-farmed Atlantic and Danube salmon, fresh or chilled. Therefore, all criteria for identifying fresh or chilled Atlantic or Danube salmon that are wild-caught are met at this level.
