0304.43.00.25 - Greenland turbot (Greenland halibut), (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides)

This HTS code, 0304.43.00.25, specifically classifies fresh or chilled fillets of Greenland turbot, also known as Greenland halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides). These are the flesh of this particular flatfish, prepared as fillets and maintained in a fresh or chilled state, ready for further processing or consumption. The classification falls under the broader category of fish fillets and other fish meat, underscoring its identity as a processed, but not yet preserved (beyond chilling), product derived from fish.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 0304.43.00.10 (Sole), 0304.43.00.15 (Plaice), and 0304.43.00.20 (Flounder), is crucial. While all these codes cover fresh or chilled fillets of flatfish, this particular code is exclusive to Greenland turbot. The differentiation is based on the specific species of flatfish, requiring accurate identification of the fish species from which the fillets are derived. The catch-all category, 0304.43.00.90, would encompass fillets of other flatfish species not otherwise specified.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 0304.43.00.25. Therefore, the classification stops at the specific identification of fresh or chilled Greenland turbot fillets. Classification within this code relies on the accurate identification of the species as Reinhardtius hippoglossoides and confirmation that the product is presented as fillets in a fresh or chilled condition.
