Overview
This classification covers fresh or chilled fillets and other meat of fish belonging to specific families, excluding those already classified under "Atlantic Cod." The designated families include Bregmacerotidae, Euclichthyidae, Gadidae, Macrouridae, Melanonidae, Merlucciidae, Moridae, and Muraenolepididae. This category is intended for fish meat that meets these specific family criteria and is presented in fresh or chilled, non-frozen form.
The key distinction for this category lies in the species of fish, moving beyond the more specific classification of Atlantic Cod. While Atlantic Cod is a member of the Gadidae family, this broader category encompasses other fish species within the listed families, such as Haddock (also Gadidae), Pollock, and various deep-sea species, provided their meat is fresh or chilled. The "Other" designation within this sub-category signifies that it captures all qualifying fish meat from these families not explicitly enumerated at a more detailed level.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification under 0304.44.00.15 relies on accurately identifying the fish species' family origin and ensuring the product is presented as fresh or chilled fillets or other meat. The absence of further subcategories means that importers and exporters must be confident in their identification of the fish to ensure correct reporting, as there are no more granular distinctions available at this point in the tariff.
