0304.79.10.90 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 0304.79.10.90, specifically covers frozen fish fillets and other fish meat, minced or not, that belong to the families Bregmacerotidae, Euclichthyidae, Gadidae, Macrouridae, Melanonidae, Merlucciidae, Moridae, and Muraenolepididae. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is that the fish meat has been skinned, and then frozen into blocks exceeding 4.5 kg. Crucially, these blocks are imported with the explicit intention of being further processed into minced, ground, or uniformly cut pieces.

This particular classification distinguishes itself from its siblings by its specific processing state and intended end-use. Unlike the "Pollock other than Alaska pollock" (0304.79.10.10) or "Whiting (Merluccius spp.)" (0304.79.10.15) categories, which may refer to specific fish species or general preparations, this code focuses on the *form* of the frozen product (large blocks for further processing) rather than the specific species of fish within the broader listed families.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories branching from 0304.79.10.90. Therefore, classification at this level is definitive based on the criteria of being skinned, frozen into blocks over 4.5 kg, and intended for subsequent mincing, grinding, or uniform cutting. The emphasis is on the bulk, semi-processed nature of the fish product ready for downstream manufacturing.
