Overview
This HTS category, 0302.89.50.31, specifically classifies "Whitefish" that are fresh or chilled, excluding fillets and other fish meat classified under heading 0304. This designation falls within the broader scope of "Other fish, excluding edible fish offal" and further refines the classification to "Other" fish that are not specifically listed at this level.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. For instance, while 0302.89.50.07 covers Pike, and 0302.89.50.10 covers Pickerel, this subheading is dedicated to Whitefish. Similarly, it differs from Perch and Bass (0302.89.50.28), which are separately enumerated. The residual category, 0302.89.50.34, serves as a catch-all for other types of fresh-water fish not otherwise specified within this group.
As a leaf node, this category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 0302.89.50.31 hinges on the identification of the fish as "Whitefish" in a fresh or chilled state. Importers and exporters should ensure that the documentation accurately reflects the species being classified, adhering to the specific nomenclature for Whitefish to avoid misclassification and potential duties or penalties.
