Overview
This HTS classification pertains to frozen fillets or other meat of halibut, which is a type of flat fish. Within the broader category of frozen fillets of other fish, this specific code is designated for halibut. Halibut are characterized by their flat, asymmetrical bodies and are recognized as a distinct species from other flatfish.
It is important to distinguish this classification from its sibling categories. While both 0304.83.50.30 (Turbot) and 0304.83.50.90 (Other) fall under the umbrella of "Flat fish," this code exclusively covers halibut. Turbot, though a flatfish, is a different species with its own specific code. The "Other" sibling category would encompass frozen fillets of flatfish not otherwise specified.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 0304.83.50.25. Therefore, classification at this level is determined by the precise identification of the fish as halibut and its presentation as frozen fillets or meat. This ensures accurate duty assessment and trade statistics for this specific commercially valuable species.
