0304.44.00.20 - Haddock

This classification, HTS Code 0304.44.00.20, specifically designates fresh or chilled fillets of fish belonging to the families Bregmacerotidae, Euclichthyidae, Gadidae, Macrouridae, Melanonidae, Merlucciidae, Moridae, and Muraenolepididae, with a particular focus on Haddock. This category encompasses the flesh of these fish, meticulously prepared as fillets, and presented in a fresh or chilled state, excluding any processing beyond basic filleting.

Distinguishing Haddock from its siblings, this code is precise in its identification. While other codes at this level might cover other species within the aforementioned families, such as Pollock (0304.44.00.25) or Hake (0304.44.00.30), or group remaining varieties as "Other" (0304.44.00.90), this particular classification isolates Haddock. The primary differentiator, therefore, is the species of fish itself, based on established ichthyological taxonomy.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to detail. The classification ends at the specific identification of Haddock fillets. Classification into this HTS code relies on accurate species identification and confirmation that the product is indeed fresh or chilled fillets, free from any further processing such as freezing, mincing, or cooking.
