Overview
This HTS category, 0304.41.00.10, specifically classifies fresh or chilled fillets of Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) that have been raised through aquaculture or farming practices. This includes salmon that are intentionally bred, fed, and managed in controlled environments, such as fish farms or hatcheries, prior to harvesting. The "Farmed" designation is crucial for distinguishing these products from their wild-caught counterparts.
The primary distinction for this code lies in its direct contrast with the sibling category 0304.41.00.20, which covers "Not Farmed" fillets of Atlantic Salmon. While both categories deal with the same species and form (fresh or chilled fillets), the origin of the fish – farmed versus wild-caught – is the differentiating factor for classification purposes. Importers must accurately identify the provenance of the salmon to ensure correct duty application.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 0304.41.00.10. The classification is finalized at this level based on the species (Atlantic Salmon), presentation (fresh or chilled fillets), and origin (farmed). This ensures precise identification for trade statistics and customs processing, facilitating efficient and accurate customs clearance for these specific seafood products.
