0303.12.00.62 - Other 🖩

This HTS subheading covers frozen Pacific salmon, excluding specific varieties already detailed in preceding subheadings. It encompasses species such as Oncorhynchus gorbuscha (pink salmon), Oncorhynchus keta (chum salmon), Oncorhynchus tschawytscha (chinook salmon), Oncorhynchus kisutch (coho salmon), Oncorhynchus masou (masu salmon), and Oncorhynchus rhodurus (red-spotted masu salmon). The classification is specifically for whole, headless, or gutted fish, and importantly, excludes fish fillets and other fish meat which fall under heading 0304.

The distinction for this "Other" category is its residual nature within the broader classification of Pacific salmon. Prior subheadings at this level have already accounted for specific named varieties like Chinook, Chum, Pink, and Coho salmon. Therefore, this subheading acts as a catch-all for any other frozen Pacific salmon species that do not fit the more precisely defined sibling categories, ensuring comprehensive coverage of this fish group.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Classification under this subheading is determined by the absence of the specific characteristics or species already addressed by the sibling categories, while still meeting the overall criteria of being frozen, Pacific salmon, and not otherwise specified as fillets or meat.
