Overview
This HTS classification covers frozen fillets or other meat of pickerel, whether or not minced. Pickerel is a freshwater fish belonging to the Esocidae family, commonly found in North American waters. The product at this classification level must be in a frozen state and presented as fillets or other forms of fish meat, excluding whole fish or fish steaks.
While this category specifically addresses pickerel, it is important to distinguish it from its sibling classifications. For instance, HTS code 0304.89.50.20 is designated for pike, another closely related species. Similarly, 0304.89.50.25 is for sauger, and 0304.89.50.30 encompasses other freshwater fish not otherwise specified. The defining characteristic for this particular code is the exclusive identification of the fish as pickerel.
As this node is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. This means that any frozen fillets or minced meat of pickerel, meeting the established criteria, will be classified under this specific code. Classification will rely on the accurate identification of the fish species as pickerel and confirmation of its frozen state and presentation as fillets or other meat forms.
