0302.71.50.00 - Other

This HTS category encompasses "Other" tilapia, fresh or chilled, that do not meet the specific criteria outlined for sibling subheadings. Essentially, it serves as a residual category for tilapia that has been processed beyond simple scaling, or is presented in immediate containers weighing more than 6.8 kg. The scope remains within fresh or chilled fish, excluding fillets and other fish meat classified under heading 0304, and specifically pertains to tilapia species (Oreochromis spp.) as defined by the parent category.

The distinction from the sibling category, 0302.71.11.00, lies in the packaging and processing. The sibling category is reserved for scaled tilapia, whether heads, viscera, or fins have been removed, provided they are in immediate containers weighing 6.8 kg or less and have not undergone any further processing. Therefore, any tilapia meeting the primary criteria but exceeding this weight limit or having undergone additional preparation beyond scaling will fall under this "Other" classification.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Classification under this code signifies that the product is fresh or chilled tilapia, not fillets or meat of heading 0304, not falling under the specific scaled presentation of the sibling category, and not fitting into any more granular classifications within the 0302.71 range.
