Overview
This HTS subheading, 0303.13.00.00, specifically classifies frozen Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and Danube salmon (Hucho hucho). These are distinct species of fish within the broader Salmonidae family, characterized by their specific scientific nomenclature. The classification pertains to the whole, unprocessed frozen fish, excluding any fillets or other meat forms that would fall under heading 0304.
It is crucial to differentiate this category from its siblings. Unlike subheading 0303.11.00.00, which exclusively covers Sockeye salmon (red salmon) (Oncorhynchus nerka), or subheading 0303.12.00 which enumerates various other Pacific salmon species, this subheading focuses on Atlantic and Danube salmon. Similarly, it is distinct from subheading 0303.14.00.00, which is reserved for various species of trout, and the residual subheading 0303.19.01.00 for other Salmonidae not otherwise specified.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification structure, there are no further subcategories branching from 0303.13.00.00. Therefore, the primary classification considerations are the identification of the species as either Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) or Danube salmon (Hucho hucho) and confirmation that the product is frozen whole fish, not processed into fillets or other fish meat.
