Overview
This category, HTS 0304.99.11.50, specifically classifies "Sole" that has been frozen, is presented in bulk or in immediate containers weighing over 6.8 kg each, and does not fall under any more specific subclassification. This means it encompasses frozen fillets or other meat of sole, including minced sole, when packaged in large quantities suitable for wholesale or industrial use. The emphasis is on the species of fish (sole) and the presentation (frozen, in bulk or large containers).
Distinguishing this classification from its siblings, we see other specific types of fish meat at this same level, such as Greenland turbot, ocean perch, pike, and whitefish. Therefore, if the frozen fish meat is identified as one of these other species and presented in the same manner (frozen, in bulk or large containers), it would be classified under its respective HTS code. This category is reserved solely for sole.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification is complete at this level, meaning that any frozen sole meeting the described packaging and quantity criteria would be classified here. The critical determinative factor for entry into this HTS code is the identification of the fish as "sole."
