0302.89.50.34 - Other

This HTS category, 0302.89.50.34, encompasses fresh or chilled "other" fish that are not specifically listed under preceding subheadings within 0302.89.50, such as pike, pickerel, perch, bass, or whitefish. Essentially, it serves as a residual category for fresh-water fish of this nature when they do not fit into more granular classifications. The key criterion for inclusion is that the fish must be of fresh-water origin and fall outside the explicitly named sibling categories.

Unlike its siblings, which represent distinct species of fresh-water fish with established trade recognition, this category captures a broader, less specifically defined group. Classification here relies on the absence of a more specific HTS code for the particular species of fresh-water fish being imported or exported. It is important to note that this category is a leaf node, meaning there are no further subdivisions within 0302.89.50.34. Therefore, the focus for accurate classification rests on ensuring the fish is indeed fresh or chilled, of fresh-water origin, and does not meet the specific definitions of the other named fresh-water fish within the same parent subheading.
