Overview
This HTS category, specifically 0304.51.01.10, pertains to fish meat of the *Ictalurus* genus, commonly known as North American catfish. This classification covers fillets, other meat, whether or not minced, that are presented fresh or chilled. It is important to note that this code is specifically for the *Ictalurus* species and excludes other types of catfish.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. For instance, sibling category 0304.51.01.15 is designated for *Pangasius* species, which are often referred to as basa or tra catfish. Similarly, other sibling categories are dedicated to Nile Perch, Tilapias, and a residual "Other" category for eligible fish not specifically listed. Therefore, the presence of the *Ictalurus* genus is the primary distinguishing factor for this particular code.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories that subdivide this specific classification. Classification at this level is determined by the species (*Ictalurus* spp.) and its condition (fresh or chilled).
