0304.44.00.90 - Other

This HTS category, 0304.44.00.90, encompasses fresh or chilled fillets and other fish meat (whether or not minced) from specific families of fish, excluding those explicitly listed as siblings. These families, including Bregmacerotidae, Euclichthyidae, Gadidae, Macrouridae, Melanonidae, Merlucciidae, Moridae, and Muraenolepididae, represent a diverse group of marine species. The key characteristic for inclusion is that the fish meat, presented as fillets or minced, must be fresh or chilled and originate from one of these designated fish families.

This classification is distinct from sibling categories that specify particular types of fish, such as Cod, Haddock, Pollock, and Hake. Those codes are reserved for fillets and meat from those specific species, even if they also fall within the broader families listed here. Therefore, 0304.44.00.90 acts as a residual category for fresh or chilled fish meat from the specified families that are not otherwise classified under a more specific sibling code.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 0304.44.00.90. Classification at this level relies on accurately identifying the fish species and confirming its inclusion within the stipulated families, alongside the condition of the product (fresh or chilled fillets/meat). This ensures that all relevant fish products from these families, not specifically identified elsewhere, are correctly accounted for in international trade documentation.
