Overview
This HTS classification, 0304.62.00, specifically addresses frozen fillets and other meat of certain types of catfish. This category encompasses fish from the genera *Pangasius*, *Silurus*, *Clarias*, and *Ictalurus*. These are distinct from other fish within the broader 0304.60 heading, such as tilapia or Nile perch, which are classified under separate sibling codes.
Within this specific catfish classification, further subdivisions are provided to allow for more granular reporting. These subcategories differentiate based on the genus of catfish, recognizing the distinct species and their common trade names, such as *Ictalurus* species, *Pangasius* species (which often include well-known varieties like basa and tra), and other fish belonging to the order Siluriformes. This detailed breakdown aids in tracking imports and exports of specific catfish varieties.
