Overview
This HTS classification, 0302.53.00.00, specifically covers Coalfish, scientifically identified as *Pollachius virens*. These are whole, fresh, or chilled fish belonging to the Gadidae family, which are distinct from edible fish offal. Coalfish are a type of whitefish, often caught in the North Atlantic and North Pacific oceans.
To differentiate this category from its siblings, it's important to note the specific species designated within each subheading. While 0302.51.00 covers various types of Cod, and 0302.52.00.00 pertains to Haddock, this subheading is exclusively for Coalfish. Other sibling categories include Hake (0302.54), Alaska pollock (0302.55), and Blue whitings (0302.56), each encompassing distinct species within the broader scope of the parent category for fresh or chilled fish of the Gadidae and related families.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification for Coalfish is definitive at this level, meaning that any fresh or chilled whole Coalfish meeting the description and family criteria will be classified under this specific HTS code.
