Overview
This HTS classification, 0303.26.00.00, specifically identifies frozen eels belonging to the genus *Anguilla*. These are whole, unprocessed eels that have been preserved through freezing. This heading is part of the broader category for frozen fish, excluding fillets and other fish meat classified under heading 0304.
Distinguishing this classification from its siblings, 0303.26.00.00 is for eels *only*, whereas other codes within this sub-level cover Tilapias, Catfish, Carp, and "Other" fish. For instance, 0303.23.00.00 is exclusively for Tilapias, and 0303.25.01.00 is dedicated to various species of Carp. Therefore, any frozen eel shipments would fall under this specific code, provided they meet the criteria of being frozen and not processed into fillets or other meat forms.
As a leaf node, there are no further subcategories beneath 0303.26.00.00. Classification at this level is final for frozen eels. Any variations in processing, such as filleting or the specific state of preservation beyond simple freezing (e.g., dried or salted), would necessitate classification under different HTS headings or subheadings.
