0303.69.00.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 0303.69.00.00, encompasses "Other" frozen fish that belong to the families Bregmacerotidae, Euclichthyidae, Gadidae, Macrouridae, Melanonidae, Merlucciidae, Moridae, and Muraenolepididae. It specifically excludes edible fish offal. The classification of fish within these families can sometimes be complex, and this "Other" provision serves as a residual category for species that do not fit into the more specifically enumerated subheadings within this group.

This category is distinguished from its sibling subheadings by the absence of specific species or common names. For instance, while 0303.63.00 covers Cod, and 0303.66.00.00 addresses Hake, this 0303.69.00.00 subheading is for frozen fish from the same larger family groups that are not otherwise specifically listed. Importers and customs brokers must ensure that a fish's scientific classification places it within one of the designated families, but it does not match the specific criteria for the more granular subheadings to be correctly classified here.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 0303.69.00.00. Therefore, all eligible frozen fish that meet the family criteria but are not specifically itemized in preceding subheadings will find their final classification within this provision. Careful attention to the scientific nomenclature and family affiliations of the frozen fish is paramount for accurate classification under this "Other" subheading.
