Overview
This classification, HTS Code 0304.53.00.20, specifically identifies Haddock, a type of white fish, when presented as fillets or other fish meat that has been minced. The product must be in a fresh or chilled state, distinguishing it from frozen preparations. This category falls under the broader classification for fish of the families Bregmacerotidae, Euclichthyidae, Gadidae, Macrouridae, Melanonidae, Merlucciidae, Moridae and Muraenolepididae, which are known for their white, flaky flesh.
Within this level, the primary distinction is the specific species of fish. While this code is for Haddock, sibling categories exist for other commercially important fish from the same families, such as Cod (0304.53.00.10), Pollock (0304.53.00.25), and Hake (0304.53.00.30). The "Other" category (0304.53.00.90) serves as a catch-all for fresh or chilled fillets or minced meat from other fish species within the defined families not explicitly listed.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is determined by the accurate identification of the fish species as Haddock and its presentation in fresh or chilled form as fillets or minced meat. Proper documentation and labeling to confirm the species are crucial for correct classification.
