Overview
This HTS category specifically covers fish meat derived from Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) that has been raised through aquaculture or other controlled farming methods. This includes fillets, minced meat, and other cuts of Atlantic salmon, regardless of whether it is presented fresh, chilled, or frozen. The defining characteristic for classification under this subheading is the origin of the fish from a farmed environment.
It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, 0304.52.00.15, which covers Atlantic salmon meat that is not farmed. The distinction lies solely in the method of production, with this subheading exclusively applying to aquacultured specimens, while the sibling subheading applies to wild-caught Atlantic salmon. This differentiation is vital for applying appropriate trade regulations and duties.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification to this specific HTS code requires confirming that the goods are indeed Atlantic salmon meat and that it originates from a farmed source, thereby excluding any wild-caught alternatives.
