Sub-classifications
-
0304 9490 00
Overview
This HTS classification, 0304.94, specifically addresses frozen Alaska pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) that are presented as fillets or other fish meat, whether or not minced. This designation is part of a broader category for frozen fish fillets and meat under heading 0304.
Within the "Other, frozen" subcategory, 0304.94 distinguishes itself from its siblings by its singular focus on Alaska pollock. For instance, while 0304.91 pertains to swordfish and 0304.92 to toothfish, this code is exclusively for the specific species of Theragra chalcogramma. Similarly, it is separate from the composite category of 0304.93 which includes tilapias, catfishes, and carps, and from 0304.95 which covers other fish of the Gadidae family and related families, excluding Alaska pollock.
The subcategories under 0304.94 provide further distinctions based on packaging. 0304.94.10 applies to shipments in bulk or in immediate containers exceeding 6.8 kilograms in weight, while 0304.94.90.00 encompasses all other presentations of frozen Alaska pollock fillets and meat not meeting that specific weight criterion.
