0302.55.50.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 0302.55.50.00, covers "Other" Alaska pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) that is fresh or chilled. The scope is limited to whole fish, excluding fillets and other fish meat classified under heading 0304. It also excludes edible fish offal falling under subheadings 0302.91 to 0302.99.

This particular subheading distinguishes itself from sibling categories by encompassing all Alaska pollock that do not fit the specific criteria of other subheadings at the same level. For instance, it excludes the scaled Alaska pollock in small immediate containers (0302.55.11.00). Therefore, this classification would apply to Alaska pollock that are larger than the weight limit specified in 0302.55.11.00, or those that have undergone processing beyond simple scaling but are still fresh or chilled and whole.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. The classification relies on the specific exclusion of scaled, small-container Alaska pollock to define its boundaries. Importers and exporters should ensure that the Alaska pollock being classified is fresh or chilled, whole, and does not meet the specific conditions of other subheadings within 0302.55.
