Overview
This HTS classification, 0304.79.50.00, encompasses "Other" frozen fillets and other fish meat, not minced, of the families Bregmacerotidae, Euclichthyidae, Gadidae, Macrouridae, Melanonidae, Merlucciidae, Moridae, and Muraenolepididae. These fish products are presented in a frozen state, and the "Other" designation signifies that they do not meet the specific criteria outlined for sibling categories at this level. The primary distinction lies in the processing and presentation of the fish meat.
This category is distinct from its sibling, 0304.79.10, which specifically covers frozen, skinned fillets, whether divided into pieces, and imported in blocks exceeding 4.5 kg for the purpose of mincing, grinding, or cutting into uniform weights and dimensions. Therefore, 0304.79.50.00 is intended for frozen fillets or other fish meat from the specified families that are not prepared in this particular block format for further processing.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 0304.79.50.00 relies on the exclusion of the product from more specific categories and the confirmation that the fish belong to one of the enumerated families and are presented in a frozen, non-minced form. Examples would include whole frozen fillets or larger pieces of frozen fish meat from these families that are not intended for the specialized processing described in the sibling category.
