0304.59.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 0304.59.00, covers "Other" fish fillets and other fish meat (whether or not minced), fresh or chilled, that do not fall under the more specific subheadings within 0304.5. This means it acts as a residual category for fresh or chilled fish meat when it is not of the types explicitly listed in sibling categories.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. For instance, while 0304.52.00 specifically designates salmonids, and 0304.53.00 enumerates certain families of white fish, 0304.59.00 is for all other fresh or chilled fish meat that doesn't fit those precise descriptions. It serves as a catch-all for diverse fish species not otherwise itemized at this level.

Within this "Other" category, further subdivisions exist to refine classification. For example, the subcategories might distinguish between fresh-water fish and flat fish, or provide specific designations for individual species like Atlantic ocean perch and cusk. The "Other" sub-subheading (0304.59.00.91) is reserved for any remaining fresh or chilled fish meat that does not meet the criteria for these more granular divisions.
