0302.46.50.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification covers Cobia (Rachycentron canadum) that is fresh or chilled and has not been processed beyond certain initial preparations. This heading specifically includes whole Cobia, as well as those that may have had their heads, viscera, or fins removed, but are otherwise unprocessed. The key criterion for inclusion is the preservation state (fresh or chilled) and the limited nature of any preparation undertaken.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 0302.46.11.00, by the extent of processing. The sibling category specifically includes Cobia that has been scaled, potentially with the removal of heads, viscera, and fins, but explicitly states "not otherwise processed" and confines it to immediate containers weighing 6.8 kg or less. Therefore, this "Other" category encompasses Cobia that may have undergone further, but still limited, preparations beyond scaling and removal of specific body parts, or is not presented in the specific packaging defined by the sibling.

As a leaf node in the HTS classification, 0302.46.50.00 does not have any further subcategories. This means that any fresh or chilled Cobia, fitting within the broader description of Chapter 3 and Subheading 0302.46, that is not specifically classified under the sibling category, will fall under this "Other" classification. This serves as a residual category for Cobia that meets the primary criteria of being fresh or chilled but does not conform to the more narrowly defined processing and packaging requirements of its adjacent sibling.
