Overview
This HTS classification, 0304.83.50.30, specifically covers frozen fillets of turbot. Turbot is a type of flatfish renowned for its firm, white flesh and distinct flavor. The classification pertains exclusively to the processed form of turbot, ensuring that only the fillets, whether minced or whole, that have been frozen, fall under this specific code.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. While 0304.83.50.25 covers frozen halibut fillets, and 0304.83.50.90 encompasses all other frozen flatfish fillets not otherwise specified, this particular code isolates turbot. This differentiation is based on the specific species of flatfish, with turbot being recognized as a distinct category due to its unique biological and commercial characteristics, necessitating its separate enumeration within the broader "other flat fish" grouping.
As this classification represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the focus remains on the precise identification of frozen turbot fillets. Importers and exporters should ensure that the product's conformity to the definition of turbot, as a species of flatfish, and its state as frozen fillets, is clearly documented and verifiable to maintain compliance with customs regulations.
