0304.75.50.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 0304.75.50.00, specifically covers "Other" frozen fillets of fish belonging to the families Bregmacerotidae, Euclichthyidae, Gadidae, Macrouridae, Melanonidae, Merlucciidae, Moridae, and Muraenolepididae, excluding those already specifically defined. This includes frozen fillets of Alaska pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) that do not meet the precise specifications of the preceding sibling category. The defining characteristic here is the exclusion from more specific descriptions, making this a residual category for eligible frozen fish fillets.

The key distinction from the sibling category 0304.75.10.00 lies in the preparation and presentation of the fillets. The sibling category explicitly defines skinned, frozen fillets, in blocks exceeding 4.5 kg, intended for subsequent mincing, grinding, or cutting into uniform pieces. In contrast, 0304.75.50.00 encompasses all other frozen fillets of Alaska pollock and the specified fish families that are not imported under those precise conditions. This could include fillets that are not skinned, are not frozen into blocks of the specified weight, or are not intended for the described secondary processing.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to explore. The classification is complete at this level, capturing any remaining eligible frozen fish fillets that do not fit into the more narrowly defined categories within the "Frozen fillets of the families Bregmacerotidae, Euclichthyidae, Gadidae, Macrouridae, Melanonidae, Merlucciidae, Moridae and Muraenolepididae: Alaska pollock (Theragra chalcogramma)" hierarchy. Therefore, accurate classification relies on a thorough review of the physical state, processing, and intended use of the imported product against the specific criteria of the preceding HTS codes.
