0302.24.00.00 - Turbots (Psetta maxima)

This HTS category specifically covers turbots, with the scientific classification *Psetta maxima*, when imported fresh or chilled. These are whole fish, not processed into fillets or other meat forms covered by heading 0304. The classification is restricted to the distinct species of turbot identified as *Psetta maxima*.

It's important to distinguish this category from its siblings. While all fall under "Flat fish," this code is exclusively for *Psetta maxima* turbots. For instance, subheadings 0302.21.00 and 0302.23.00.00 cover specific types of halibut, Greenland turbot, and sole, respectively, which are distinct species from the turbot classified here. Other flat fish not specifically enumerated in the preceding subheadings would fall under 0302.29.01.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions within 0302.24.00.00. Therefore, the classification hinges on the accurate identification of the imported fish as *Psetta maxima* and its condition (fresh or chilled). Any processing, such as filleting or freezing, would necessitate reclassification under a different HTS code.
