0304.94.10.10 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification covers frozen Alaska pollock meat that has been minced. "Minced" refers to fish meat that has been finely chopped or ground, typically for further processing into various food products. The defining characteristic is the state of the fish meat being processed beyond simple fillets or whole cuts, and specifically prepared in a minced form.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 0304.94.10.05, which specifically classifies "Surimi." Surimi is a highly processed fish paste, often made from Alaska pollock, but it undergoes significant mechanical and chemical treatments to achieve a specific texture and stability. In contrast, this classification is for minced Alaska pollock that has not necessarily undergone the full surimi processing, retaining a form closer to the original minced fish tissue.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within this code relies on confirming that the product is indeed frozen Alaska pollock meat that has been minced and is presented in bulk or in immediate containers weighing over 6.8 kg. It is important to differentiate this from other forms of Alaska pollock, such as fillets or surimi, based on the processing and physical state of the fish meat.
