Overview
This HTS category, 0304.89, encompasses frozen fish fillets and other fish meat, whether minced or not, that do not fall under the more specific preceding categories within 0304.8. Unlike the sibling categories which designate specific types of fish such as salmon, trout, flat fish, swordfish, and toothfish, this category serves as a residual classification for frozen fish meat derived from all other fish species. The key distinguishing factor is the species of origin, with this code applying when the fish is not one of the explicitly listed types.
Within this category, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification based on specific processing and intended use. Subcategory 0304.89.10 pertains to skinned frozen fish fillets, supplied in large blocks exceeding 4.5 kg, specifically imported for further processing such as mincing, grinding, or cutting into uniform pieces. The remaining subcategory, 0304.89.50, acts as a further residual, covering all other frozen fish fillets and meat of unlisted fish species that do not meet the specific criteria of 0304.89.10. This hierarchical structure ensures granular classification of diverse fish products.
