Overview
This HTS classification covers fresh or chilled fillets of catfish belonging to the genus *Ictalurus*. These are raw fish meat products, specifically fillets, derived from various species within the *Ictalurus* genus, prepared without bone and skin. The classification focuses on the unprocessed state of the fish, being either fresh or chilled, making it distinct from frozen products or those that have undergone further processing.
This category is specifically for *Ictalurus* catfish fillets and distinguishes them from other catfish species. Sibling category 0304.32.00.20 exclusively covers fillets of *Pangasius* species, commonly known as basa and tra. Category 0304.32.00.90 serves as a residual category for any other fresh or chilled catfish fillets not otherwise specified. The key differentiator here is the specific taxonomic classification of the catfish species.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within this specific HTS code. Classification decisions at this level rely on accurately identifying the fish species as belonging to the *Ictalurus* genus based on its biological characteristics and ensuring the product meets the criteria of being a fresh or chilled fillet.
