0304.89.50.06 - Pike perch (including yellow pike)

This classification specifically covers frozen fillets or other meat of pike perch, which includes its yellow-colored variety, when intended for import or export. These products are derived from freshwater fish of the *Sander* genus and are presented in a filleted or minced form. The defining characteristic for this subcategory is the specific species of fish from which the meat is sourced.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 0304.89.50.03, which exclusively classifies frozen fillets of yellow perch. While both relate to perch species, this heading encompasses the broader category of pike perch, which may include other closely related species or varieties beyond just the yellow perch. The distinction is important for accurate tariff application and trade statistics.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this heading relies on confirming the product is indeed frozen pike perch fillets or meat, and that it is not otherwise specified in a more granular category. Any products not meeting these specific criteria should be reviewed against adjacent or higher-level classifications.
