0303.12.00.32 - Pink (humpie)

This HTS category, 0303.12.00.32, specifically classifies frozen Pink salmon, also commonly referred to as "humpie" salmon. These fish are part of the Salmonidae family, excluding edible fish offal, and are a distinct species within the "Other Pacific salmon" designation. The classification pertains to the whole, unprocessed frozen fish.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. While all fall under "Other Pacific salmon," 0303.12.00.32 is exclusively for Pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha). It differs from 0303.12.00.12 (Chinook), 0303.12.00.22 (Chum), and 0303.12.00.52 (Coho) by the specific species of Pacific salmon. The sibling category 0303.12.00.62 serves as a residual classification for any other Pacific salmon species not specifically enumerated.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 0303.12.00.32. Therefore, the focus for classification at this level is on confirming the species as Pink salmon and ensuring the product is presented as whole, frozen fish, not processed into fillets or other meat forms, which would fall under heading 0304.
