0304.41.00 - Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka, Oncorhynchus gorbuscha, Oncorhynchus keta, Oncorhynchus tschawytscha, Oncorhynchus kisutch, Oncorhynchus masou and Oncorhynchus rhodurus) Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) and Danube salmon (Hucho hucho)

This HTS category, 0304.41.00, specifically classifies fresh or chilled fillets of Pacific salmon (various *Oncorhynchus* species), Atlantic salmon (*Salmo salar*), and Danube salmon (*Hucho hucho*). It encompasses the meat of these particular salmon species that has been filleted and is presented in a fresh or chilled state, ready for consumption or further processing. This detailed breakdown within the broader "Fish fillets and other fish meat" chapter allows for precise identification of these commercially important fish products.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. While other categories at this level cover fresh or chilled fillets of trout, flatfish, or specific families like Gadidae, 0304.41.00 is exclusively dedicated to the aforementioned salmon species. For instance, any fillets from trout, even if a related species, would fall under 0304.42.00. Similarly, fillets from swordfish or toothfish are classified separately under their respective HTS codes.

Within 0304.41.00, a further subdivision exists to differentiate between Atlantic salmon (*Salmo salar*) and other types of salmon covered by this code, as well as providing a residual category for "Other" salmon fillets. This granular approach ensures that trade statistics accurately reflect the origin and type of salmon being imported or exported.
