Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This classification pertains to frozen fillets or other minced meat derived from fish not specifically listed in preceding subheadings within the "Other" category. It encompasses a broad range of fish species where the flesh has been separated from the bone and skin, or otherwise processed into smaller pieces, and then preserved by freezing. The key criterion for inclusion here is that the fish species does not fall under specific categories like Atlantic Ocean Perch, other Ocean Perch, Ocean Catfish, or Orange Roughy.

To distinguish this category from its siblings, it's important to note that all sibling categories at this level represent distinct species or groups of fish. For instance, if a particular type of frozen fish fillet or minced fish meat is identified as "Cusk," and it is not a member of the specifically enumerated species such as Atlantic Ocean Perch or Orange Roughy, it would fall under this "Other" subheading. The classification relies on accurate species identification to differentiate between the named categories and this more general residual one.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification of "Cusk" at this specific HTS code (0304.89.50.60) signifies that it has been definitively placed within the "Other" category for frozen fillets and minced fish meat after all other specific options have been exhausted. Classification at this level is final for this particular product.
