0302.46.11.00 - Scaled (whether or not heads, viscera and/or fins have been removed, but not otherwise processed), in immediate containers weighing with their contents 6.8 kg or less

This HTS category specifically classifies fresh or chilled cobia (scientific name: *Rachycentron canadum*). The description encompasses cobia that are scaled, regardless of whether their heads, viscera, or fins have been removed. Crucially, these fish must not have undergone any further processing beyond these initial preparations. The classification also specifies that the cobia must be presented in immediate containers, with each container weighing 6.8 kilograms or less, including the contents.

The primary distinction for this category lies in its specificity to cobia. While the parent heading covers a broad range of fish, including herrings, mackerel, and swordfish, this subheading narrows the scope to a single species. Within the immediate sibling categories, the "Other" category (0302.46.50.00) would encompass fresh or chilled cobia that do not meet the specific presentation requirements of this subheading, such as those in larger containers or those that have undergone more extensive processing.

As this classification node represents a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus is on precisely identifying and distinguishing fresh or chilled cobia that are scaled and packed in small immediate containers, ensuring accurate classification based on these defined parameters.
