0302.72.50.34 - Other

This HTS classification, specifically 0302.72.50.34, pertains to "Other" catfish that are fresh or chilled. This category is a residual designation within the broader classification of catfish (Pangasius spp., Silurus spp., Clarias spp., Ictalurus spp.) that are not specifically identified under other subheadings. The fish covered here are intended for consumption and retain their natural form, not processed into fillets or other meat products classified under heading 0304.

The distinction between this "Other" category and its siblings lies in the specific genus of catfish. For example, subheadings 0302.72.50.01 and 0302.72.50.04 are dedicated to Ictalurus spp. and Pangasius spp. (including basa and tra), respectively. Therefore, this "Other" category captures species of catfish that do not fall under those more precisely defined groups.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this "Other" designation relies on identifying catfish species that are not explicitly listed or described in the preceding subheadings at this level of detail. The key criteria for classification here are that the fish are catfish, they are fresh or chilled, and they are not fillets or other meat of heading 0304, nor are they of the genera Ictalurus or Pangasius which have their own distinct classifications.
