0304.83.50.90 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 0304.83.50.90, encompasses frozen fillets and other minced meat of flat fish that do not specifically fall under the designated sibling categories. While the broader heading 0304.83 covers frozen fillets of flat fish, this particular subheading is for those varieties not explicitly listed. The key criterion for inclusion here is that the fish must belong to one of the families of flat fish (Pleuronectidae, Bothidae, Cynoglossidae, Soleidae, Scophthalmidae, and Citharidae) and be presented in a frozen state, as either fillets or minced meat.

This category serves as a residual classification for flat fish fillets and minced meat, distinguishing itself from the more specific enumerations. For instance, it differentiates from 0304.83.50.25, which is reserved for Halibut, and 0304.83.50.30, designated for Turbot. Therefore, if a frozen flat fish fillet or minced meat is not identifiable as Halibut or Turbot, it would likely be classified under this "Other" designation.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, this category does not have further subcategories. Classification at this level relies on accurately identifying the product as a frozen flat fish fillet or minced meat and ensuring it does not meet the criteria for more specifically enumerated flat fish types. Practical considerations for classification would include the visual identification of the fish species, its presentation (fillet or minced), and its state (frozen).
