0304.89.50.35 - Atlantic ocean perch

This HTS category, 0304.89.50.35, specifically classifies frozen fillets of Atlantic Ocean perch. These are pieces of fish meat, derived from the Atlantic Ocean perch species, that have been processed and preserved through freezing. The term "fillets" implies the fish meat has been removed from the bone and skin, presenting a consumer-ready or semi-processed product. This subcategory is vital for accurately identifying and tracking this particular type of frozen fish product for trade purposes.

To distinguish this category from its siblings, it's important to note the specific species and origin. While other sibling categories, such as "Other ocean perch" (0304.89.50.40), may cover different species or varieties of perch, or perch from other ocean origins, this classification is exclusively for the Atlantic Ocean perch. Similarly, categories for other types of fish, like ocean catfish or orange roughy, are distinct due to their differing species characteristics and classifications.

As this node represents a leaf in the HTS hierarchy, there are no further subcategories to introduce. This means that goods classified under 0304.89.50.35 are definitively identified as frozen fillets of Atlantic Ocean perch, and no further breakdown is required within this specific classification path. Classification decisions at this level rely heavily on the precise identification of the fish species and its form (frozen fillets), ensuring accurate tariff application.
