Overview

This HTS category, 0304.99.11.70, specifically classifies "Ocean perch" when it is presented as fish fillets or other fish meat (whether or not minced), and is in a frozen state. The product must also fall under the broader classification of "Other" fish meat within the frozen category and be packaged either in bulk or in immediate containers that weigh more than 6.8 kilograms with their contents.

This classification distinguishes "Ocean perch" from other fish species at this same granular level, such as "Sole" (0304.99.11.50), "Greenland turbot (Greenland halibut)" (0304.99.11.60), "Pike" (0304.99.11.82), and "Whitefish" (0304.99.11.83). Each of these sibling codes represents a distinct species of fish, requiring specific identification for accurate customs declaration.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories branching from this specific classification. Therefore, the primary focus for classification purposes at this level is the accurate identification of "Ocean perch" under the stipulated conditions of being frozen, in bulk or large containers, and not belonging to any of the other specifically enumerated fish species at this same sub-heading.
