0304.72.50.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 0304.72.50.00, specifically covers "Other" frozen fillets of fish belonging to the families Bregmacerotidae, Euclichthyidae, Gadidae, Macrouridae, Melanonidae, Merlucciidae, Moridae, and Muraenolepididae, which are not otherwise specified under subheadings within 0304.72. This designation typically applies to haddock fillets that do not meet the specific processing or packaging criteria of other sibling categories. The key defining characteristic is that these are frozen fillets of haddock, presented in a form other than the specifically enumerated types of processing or packaging found elsewhere in the tariff.

To distinguish this category, consider its sibling, 0304.72.10.00, which details haddock fillets that are skinned, potentially divided, and frozen into blocks weighing over 4.5 kg, specifically for subsequent mincing, grinding, or uniform portioning. The "Other" designation in 0304.72.50.00 therefore applies to all other frozen haddock fillets that do not fit this precise block form and intended use, such as individual fillets, smaller portions, or fillets not intended for such specific further processing.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 0304.72.50.00 is therefore conclusive for any frozen haddock fillets that meet the general criteria for this family but do not qualify for more specific provisions. The focus remains on the species (haddock), the form (fillets), the temperature (frozen), and the absence of specific processing or packaging details that would place them in a more granular HTS code.
