Overview
This HTS classification, 0304.95.10.15, pertains to frozen, minced fish meat that is not specifically identified as cod. The "Other" designation signifies that it encompasses all minced fish meat falling within the preceding hierarchical categories, except for the specifically enumerated cod. This exclusion is crucial for accurate classification, ensuring that shipments of minced cod are directed to the sibling category, 0304.95.10.10.
The goods classified here are characterized by being derived from fish belonging to the families Bregmacerotidae, Euclichthyidae, Gadidae, Macrouridae, Melanonidae, Merlucciidae, Moridae, and Muraenolepididae, and must be in a minced form, frozen, and packed in bulk or immediate containers exceeding 6.8 kg. This level of detail is essential to differentiate it from other frozen fish products, such as whole fish or fillets, which are classified elsewhere in Chapter 3.
As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within 0304.95.10.15 is final once all preceding criteria are met and the product is not cod. Importers and exporters must carefully verify the species of fish and its presentation to ensure correct tariff assignment, avoiding misclassification and potential customs issues.
