0302.79.50 - Other

This HTS classification, 0302.79.50, pertains to "Other" fish within the broader category of tilapias, catfish, carp, eels, Nile perch, and snakeheads, which are fresh or chilled and intended for direct human consumption, excluding edible fish offal. The "Other" designation signifies that these particular species of fish do not fall under any more specific subheadings within this group that might be defined by species or processing.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 0302.79.11.00, by the latter's specific focus on scaled fish, in immediate containers weighing 6.8 kg or less. Therefore, 0302.79.50 encompasses all fresh or chilled fish within the defined genus and species that are *not* scaled and packaged in such small quantities, regardless of whether heads, viscera, or fins have been removed, as long as the product is not otherwise processed beyond chilling.

Within this "Other" category, further distinctions are made to provide more granular classification. The subcategories are 0302.79.50.25 for Nile perch and 0302.79.50.76 for all other qualifying fish species not specifically listed. This subdivision allows for precise identification and tariff application based on the specific type of fish being imported or exported, reflecting the detailed nature of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule.
