0304.79 - Other:

This category, HTS 0304.79, encompasses frozen fish fillets and other fish meat that do not fall under the more specific subheadings for cod, haddock, coalfish, hake, or Alaska pollock. It pertains to the families Bregmacerotidae, Euclichthyidae, Gadidae, Macrouridae, Melanonidae, Merlucciidae, Moridae, and Muraenolepididae, provided the product is in a frozen state. The key distinction from its siblings lies in the species of fish; this code serves as a catch-all for frozen fillets from the aforementioned families that are not explicitly listed in the preceding subheadings.

Within this broad category, there are two principal subcategories to guide further classification. HTS 0304.79.10 specifically addresses frozen fillets that have been skinned, potentially divided, and then formed into blocks exceeding 4.5 kg. This particular subdivision is designated for products intended for subsequent processing, such as mincing, grinding, or cutting into uniformly weighted and dimensioned pieces.

The remaining products that meet the general description of frozen fillets from the specified fish families, but do not fit the criteria for HTS 0304.79.10, are classified under HTS 0304.79.50.00. This serves as the residual category for all other eligible frozen fish fillets from the designated families, emphasizing that their physical form or intended end-use does not align with the more granular specifications of the preceding subheading.
