Overview
This HTS subheading, 0304.99.11.82, specifically classifies frozen pike meat, whether minced or in fillets, that is presented in bulk or in immediate containers weighing over 6.8 kilograms each. This category is intended for bulk shipments of pike where the individual packaging or presentation exceeds this specified weight threshold, distinguishing it from smaller retail-ready packaging.
While other sibling categories at this level classify specific types of frozen fish meat like sole, Greenland turbot, ocean perch, and whitefish, this subheading serves as a catch-all for other frozen fish meats that do not fit into those more specific classifications, provided they meet the weight and presentation criteria. The key differentiator here is the type of fish (pike) and the bulk presentation of its meat.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subdivisions under this specific code. Therefore, classification hinges on accurately identifying the product as pike meat and confirming that it is frozen and presented in bulk or in immediate containers weighing over 6.8 kilograms. Any deviations in the form (e.g., fresh, chilled) or presentation (e.g., smaller individual packages) would necessitate classification under a different HTS code.
