0304.95.10.25 - Haddock

This HTS classification, specifically 0304.95.10.25, designates frozen haddock meat, whether minced or in fillets, that is presented in bulk or in immediate containers exceeding 6.8 kg in gross weight. This category falls under the broader classification of other fish meat, excluding Alaska Pollock, from specific families known for their white fish characteristics. The defining factor for this specific subcategory is the species of fish – haddock.

Distinguishing this classification from its siblings, 0304.95.10.20 covers frozen cod, and 0304.95.10.30 pertains to frozen pollock, both also in bulk or large containers. The sibling 0304.95.10.90 is a residual category for any other fish meat meeting the general criteria but not specifically identified as cod, pollock, or haddock. Therefore, precise species identification is crucial for correct classification under this heading.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. The classification is complete at this level, focusing on the specific type of fish (haddock), its condition (frozen), its form (fillets or minced meat), and its packaging quantity. Importers and exporters must ensure their goods are accurately identified as haddock to utilize this specific tariff line.
