0303.89.00.61 - Sable fish (Anoplopoma fimbria)

This classification, HTS Code 0303.89.00.61, specifically covers frozen sable fish, scientifically identified as *Anoplopoma fimbria*. As a member of Chapter 3, which deals with fish and fish products, this subheading falls under the broader category of frozen fish, excluding fillets and other fish meat of heading 0304. It is further refined to include "other fish," distinct from edible fish offal, and finally categorized as "other" within this group, signifying it doesn't fit into more specific subdivisions.

The distinction of this subheading from its siblings lies in its precise identification of sable fish. While other subheadings at this level might cover different types of fish such as smelts, cusk, shad, sturgeon, or Atka mackerel, this code is dedicated solely to the sable fish species. This level of specificity is crucial for accurate tariff assessment, ensuring that each distinct species or type of fish is appropriately classified.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 0303.89.00.61. The classification concludes at this point, meaning that all frozen sable fish that meet the preceding criteria will be classified under this specific HTS code. The defining characteristic for inclusion here is the species of the fish itself, alongside its frozen state and exclusion from being categorized as fish fillets or other meat.
