Overview
This HTS category, 0304.62.00.20, specifically covers frozen fillets and other fish meat, whether minced or not, derived from species within the Pangasius genus. This includes commonly known varieties such as basa and tra. These products are presented in a frozen state, ready for subsequent processing or direct consumption.
It is crucial to distinguish this classification from its siblings. While all fall under the broader umbrella of frozen catfish fillets, this specific code is exclusively for Pangasius spp. Category 0304.62.00.10 is reserved for Ictalurus spp., and 0304.62.00.30 encompasses other Siluriformes not otherwise specified. Category 0304.62.00.90 serves as a residual for any remaining catfish species not fitting into the preceding codes.
As this HTS code is a leaf node, it does not have further subcategories. Classification at this level is final for frozen fillets and meat of Pangasius spp. (basa and tra). Therefore, importers and exporters must ensure the product accurately meets the genus and frozen state criteria to correctly apply this specific code and avoid misclassification.
