0302.89.11.40 - Other

This HTS category, 0302.89.11.40, specifically classifies "Other" fish that are fresh or chilled, excluding fillets and other fish meat of heading 0304. The defining characteristic of this sub-category is that the fish are scaled, regardless of whether their heads, viscera, or fins have undergone any processing. Furthermore, the fish must be presented in immediate containers, and the total weight of the container and its contents must not exceed 6.8 kilograms.

The distinction of this category from its sibling, 0302.89.11.20, lies in the specific type of fish. While 0302.89.11.20 is exclusively for Sable fish (Anoplopoma fimbria), this category encompasses all other types of fish that meet the general criteria of being fresh or chilled, having been scaled, and packaged in small immediate containers not exceeding 6.8 kg. It acts as a catch-all for other scaled, fresh/chilled fish presented in this specific packaging format.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus is on ensuring accurate classification based on the physical condition of the fish (fresh or chilled), the specific processing applied (scaled, with allowance for head/viscera/fin processing), and the packaging criteria (immediate containers weighing 6.8 kg or less). This ensures a precise and unambiguous classification for these particular seafood products.
