Overview

This HTS category, 0303.91.20.00, specifically covers sturgeon roe that has been frozen. This refers to the unfertilized eggs of sturgeon fish, which are often processed and preserved by freezing for culinary use or as a valuable commodity. The classification is rooted in Chapter 3 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, which pertains to fish and crustaceans, mollusks and other aquatic invertebrates.

The distinction between this specific code and its sibling category, 0303.91.40 (Other), lies in the precise identification of the product. While 0303.91.40 would encompass other types of edible fish offal within the broader "livers, roes, and milt" grouping, 0303.91.20.00 is exclusively for sturgeon roe. This ensures accurate tariff application based on the species of fish from which the roe originates.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to detail. Therefore, classification at this level relies on the definitive identification of the product as frozen sturgeon roe. Importers and exporters should ensure their documentation clearly specifies "sturgeon roe" and confirms the product is preserved through freezing to correctly apply this tariff code.
