0303.12.00 - Other Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha, Oncorhynchus keta, Oncorhynchus tschawytscha, Oncorhynchus kisutch, Oncorhynchus masou and Oncorhynchus rhodurus)

This classification covers frozen Pacific salmon, excluding sockeye salmon (red salmon) and Atlantic salmon, along with Danube salmon. The species specifically included are *Oncorhynchus gorbuscha* (pink salmon), *Oncorhynchus keta* (chum salmon), *Oncorhynchus tschawytscha* (Chinook or king salmon), *Oncorhynchus kisutch* (coho or silver salmon), *Oncorhynchus masou* (masu salmon), and *Oncorhynchus rhodurus* (black-spotted trout salmon). These are whole, headless, or gutted fish, preserved by freezing.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. Subheading 0303.11.00.00 specifically enumerates sockeye salmon (*Oncorhynchus nerka*). Subheading 0303.13.00.00 is reserved for Atlantic salmon (*Salmo salar*) and Danube salmon (*Hucho hucho*). Furthermore, subheading 0303.14.00.00 encompasses various species of trout. Any other Pacific salmon not explicitly listed within this subheading or other relevant categories would fall under the "Other" residual subheading, if available.

Within this classification, further subdivisions exist to account for the specific commercial species of Pacific salmon. These subcategories, such as Chinook (king), Chum (dog), Pink (humpie), and Coho (silver) salmon, allow for more granular tracking and reporting based on distinct species characteristics and market value. The "Other" subcategory serves as a catch-all for any Pacific salmon species that do not fit into the more specifically defined subcategories within this heading.
