Overview
This HTS classification, 0304.99.11.60, specifically covers frozen Greenland turbot, also known as Greenland halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides). These are fish fillets or other fish meat, whether minced or not, that have been frozen for preservation. The "other, frozen" designation indicates that these are not specifically a type of fish already itemized at a higher level, and the subsequent "other" signifies they fall outside of more narrowly defined categories within frozen fish products.
This category is distinguished from its siblings by the specific species of fish. For instance, it is separate from 0304.99.11.50 (Sole), 0304.99.11.70 (Ocean perch), 0304.99.11.82 (Pike), and 0304.99.11.83 (Whitefish) because it exclusively pertains to Greenland turbot. The primary differentiator at this level is the precise identification of the fish species, assuming all other criteria such as form (fillets, meat, minced), state (frozen), and packaging (over 6.8 kg) are met.
As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus is on ensuring accurate identification of the product as Greenland turbot. Importers and exporters must confirm that the goods precisely match the species description and meet all the preceding classification criteria, including being frozen fish meat or fillets, and packaged in bulk or immediate containers exceeding 6.8 kg.
