0303.49.02.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 0303.49.02.00, falls under the broader category of frozen fish, excluding fillets and other fish meat of heading 0304. Specifically, it pertains to frozen tunas of the genus *Thunnus*, skipjack tuna (*Katsuwonus pelamis*), and edible fish offal of subheadings 0303.91 to 0303.99, which are not otherwise classified.

This "Other" designation serves as a residual category for frozen tunas and skipjack tuna that do not meet the specific criteria of the preceding sibling subheadings. Therefore, it distinguishes itself by encompassing all varieties of frozen *Thunnus* and *Katsuwonus pelamis* that are not explicitly listed under subheadings such as Albacore, Yellowfin, Skipjack, Bigeye, or Bluefin tunas. The primary distinguishing factor lies in the specific species or sub-species of tuna not covered by the more granular classifications.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Consequently, the classification of goods under 0303.49.02.00 relies heavily on the precise identification of the tuna species being imported or exported. Importers and exporters must ensure that the product does not fit into any of the more specific preceding tuna classifications before assigning it to this residual category.
