About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This classification covers plaice that has been prepared as fillets or other forms of fish meat, excluding minced fish. The product is presented in a fresh or chilled state. This specifically excludes frozen products, which would fall under different subheadings.

The distinction between this category and its siblings lies in the precise species of flat fish. While other categories within this level address sole, flounder, and Greenland turbot, this subheading is exclusively for plaice. Careful identification of the species is paramount for accurate classification.

As this represents a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification to this specific subheading relies on the correct identification of plaice as the species and its presentation as fresh or chilled fillets or other fish meat (not minced).
