Overview
This HTS classification, 0304.43.00.90, covers fresh or chilled fillets and other meat (whether or not minced) derived from "other" fish, specifically within the broader category of Flat Fish. This designation applies to flatfish species that are not explicitly enumerated under the preceding sibling subheadings. The scope of "other" fish in this context is determined by exclusion from categories such as Sole, Plaice, Flounder, and Greenland turbot. Therefore, any flatfish fillets or meat that do not fall under those specific classifications would be classified here.
To accurately classify under this subheading, importers and exporters must confirm that the flatfish in question does not match the scientific or common names of the specifically listed sibling categories. This requires a thorough understanding of the various species within the flatfish families Pleuronectidae, Bothidae, Cynoglossidae, Soleidae, Scophthalmidae, and Citharidae, and ensuring the product is not a Sole, Plaice, Flounder, or Greenland turbot. The key differentiator is the precise identification of the fish species to avoid misclassification.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 0304.43.00.90. Consequently, the classification is definitive at this level, and any fresh or chilled flatfish fillets or meat not specifically listed as Sole, Plaice, Flounder, or Greenland turbot will be captured by this "Other" designation. The physical form, whether whole fillets or minced meat, and the state of preservation (fresh or chilled) are the primary factors determining inclusion under this heading.
