0304.53.00.15 - Other

This classification, HTS Code 0304.53.00.15, covers "Other" fish meat, specifically from the families Bregmacerotidae, Euclichthyidae, Gadidae, Macrouridae, Melanonidae, Merlucciidae, Moridae, and Muraenolepididae, when presented in a fresh or chilled state. This broad "Other" category is designed to capture species within these specified families that are not otherwise individually listed at this level of detail.

It is crucial to distinguish this entry from its sibling, 0304.53.00.10, which specifically designates Atlantic Cod. While Atlantic Cod belongs to the Gadidae family and would otherwise fall under this general heading, the more specific classification for Atlantic Cod takes precedence. Therefore, HTS 0304.53.00.15 is reserved for all other types of fish meat derived from the enumerated families that are not Atlantic Cod, provided they are fresh or chilled and are not minced.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification concludes with this granular level, emphasizing the need for accurate identification of the fish species within the specified families to ensure correct import and export declaration. Proper documentation detailing the species of fish and its condition (fresh or chilled) is essential for applying this classification correctly.
