0303.29.01.10 - Nile perch

This HTS classification, 0303.29.01.10, specifically covers frozen Nile perch (Lates niloticus). This heading falls under frozen fish, excluding fillets and other fish meat of heading 0304, and is a specific subset within the broader category of frozen fish that includes tilapias, catfish, carp, eels, Nile perch, and snakeheads. The primary characteristic for classification under this subcategory is the species of fish: Nile perch.

The distinction for 0303.29.01.10 lies in its singular focus on Nile perch, differentiating it from other fish types included in the parent group, such as tilapias or catfish. The sibling category, 0303.29.01.50, also designated as "Other," would encompass frozen fish within this broader group that are not specifically listed, but importantly, it would *not* include Nile perch, which has its dedicated subheading here.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, 0303.29.01.10 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the classification is definitive for frozen Nile perch that meets the general criteria of Chapter 3 and heading 0303. Importers and exporters should ensure that the product is indeed frozen Nile perch and not any other fish species or a form of fish meat (like fillets) to correctly utilize this classification.
