Overview
This HTS classification covers frozen fish belonging to the genus *Ictalurus*, commonly known as North American catfish. These fish are distinct from other catfish species that may be listed under different subheadings. The classification is specifically for the whole, gutted, or ungutted *Ictalurus* catfish that have been frozen.
This category is differentiated from its sibling category, 0303.24.00.20, which is dedicated to *Pangasius* species, including the commonly known basa and tra. While both are types of catfish, *Ictalurus* species are native to North America and possess distinct biological characteristics and often different market uses compared to *Pangasius*. The "Other" sibling category (0303.24.00.50) would encompass any frozen catfish species not specifically enumerated.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within this specific HTS code. Therefore, any frozen fish meeting the description of *Ictalurus* species falls directly under this classification. Classification relies on accurate species identification and confirmation that the product is frozen.
