Overview
This HTS category, 0303.89.00, encompasses frozen fish that do not fall into any of the more specific preceding subheadings within 0303.8. It serves as a residual classification for a broad range of fish species. The key characteristic is that these fish are presented in frozen form, excluding fillets and other fish meat typically classified under heading 0304.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. Subheadings 0303.81 through 0303.88 specifically detail types of fish such as dogfish, sharks, rays, skates, toothfish, and sea bass. Therefore, 0303.89.00 is for all other species of frozen fish that are not explicitly listed in these more narrowly defined categories.
The further subdivisions within 0303.89.00 highlight the diverse nature of this residual category. These subcategories are established to provide more granular classification for specific groups of fish, such as smelts, various fresh-water fish, and particular marine species like cusk, shad, sturgeon, Atka mackerel, mullet, monkfish, butterfish, capelin, and sable fish. This breakdown allows for greater precision in identifying and tracking the trade of a wide array of otherwise unclassified frozen fish.
