Overview
This HTS category encompasses frozen fillets of flat fish, specifically Greenland turbot (also known as Greenland halibut, *Reinhardtius hippoglossoides*). To qualify for this classification, the fillets must have had their skin removed, and they can be whole or divided into pieces. Critically, these fillets are frozen into blocks that individually weigh more than 4.5 kilograms. The intended use is also a key factor: these blocks must be imported for the purpose of being minced, ground, or cut into smaller pieces of uniform weights and dimensions.
This classification is distinct from its siblings primarily based on the specific type of fish and its preparation. For instance, while other sibling categories may also cover frozen flat fish fillets, they will differ in the species of fish (e.g., sole or flounder) or the specific form and weight of the frozen blocks. The requirement for the frozen blocks to be destined for further processing into uniform smaller units is a defining characteristic of this particular subcategory.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification under 0304.83.10.10 rests on accurately identifying the fish species as Greenland turbot or Greenland halibut, confirming the removal of skin, the frozen block format exceeding 4.5 kg, and the stated import purpose of subsequent processing into uniform pieces.
