0302.79.11.00 - Scaled (whether or not heads, viscera and/or fins have been removed, but not otherwise processed), in immediate containers weighing with their contents 6.8 kg or less 🖩

This HTS classification, 0302.79.11.00, covers whole, scaled fish of the types listed in heading 0302.79, specifically Tilapias, catfish, carp, eels, Nile perch, and snakeheads. The fish must be fresh or chilled and presented in their immediate containers. Crucially, these containers, along with their contents, must not exceed a weight of 6.8 kg. The condition of the fish permits heads, viscera, and/or fins to be removed, but no further processing or preparation is allowed.

This specific subheading distinguishes itself from its sibling, 0302.79.50, by the weight limitation of the immediate containers. While both subheadings cover scaled fish of the specified species, 0302.79.11.00 applies only to those packed in smaller containers, up to 6.8 kg. The sibling category likely encompasses similar fish in larger or bulk packaging. As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subdivisions, meaning any product meeting these criteria, regardless of specific species variation within the listed groups, will fall under this code.
