Overview

This HTS classification, 0304.59.00.70, specifically covers "Cusk" when presented as fish fillets and other fish meat, whether or not minced, in a fresh or chilled state. This designation falls under the broader category of "Other, fresh or chilled" fish meat, indicating it's not specifically fresh-water fish or flatfish, and it's not the catch-all "Other" designation at this level.

Distinguishing this subcategory, the inclusion of "Cusk" signifies a specific species of fish that has been processed into fillets or other meat forms. It differs from sibling categories like "Atlantic ocean perch" by its species identification. The "Other" sibling category would encompass other species not explicitly named at this level.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification relies on the definitive identification of the fish species as Cusk to differentiate it from other similar, but distinct, fresh or chilled fish meat products within the broader scope of Chapter 3.
