Overview
This HTS category, 0304.59.00.30, specifically covers fillets and other meat of tilapia, excluding those classified under the genus *Oreochromis*. These products are presented in a fresh or chilled state, falling under the broader classification of other fish meat. The "other" designation indicates that these are not specific types of fish for which a separate HTS code is provided at this level.
Within its sibling categories, this HTS code is distinguished by its focus on tilapia meat that is not from *Oreochromis* species. Other fresh-water fish like perch, pike, pickerel, and whitefish have their own distinct subheadings. This category acts as a catch-all for tilapia fillets and meat of this type that do not fit into more specific fresh-water fish classifications at this six-digit level.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification concludes at this point, meaning that any tilapia fillets or other fish meat, fresh or chilled, that are not *Oreochromis* species and do not fall under other more specific fresh-water fish classifications, will be classified here. It's important to ensure accurate species identification to differentiate between *Oreochromis* and other tilapia genera for correct customs declaration.
