Overview
This HTS category, 0304.99.91, encompasses "Other" fish meat that is frozen and falls outside of the specifically enumerated categories at the preceding levels. It serves as a residual classification for frozen fish products that are not minced, are not presented as fillets, and do not fit into other more defined classifications within the "Other" frozen fish meat grouping. The primary criterion for inclusion here is that the product is derived from fish, is in a frozen state, and does not conform to more specific prior HTS subdivisions.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 0304.99.11, is crucial. The sibling specifically addresses frozen fish meat that is packed in bulk or in immediate containers weighing over 6.8 kg each. Therefore, 0304.99.91 would cover frozen "other" fish meat that is not presented in such large individual packages, potentially including smaller retail packs or unpackaged frozen portions. The key differentiator lies in the packaging and weight of the immediate containers.
The subcategories within 0304.99.91 further refine the classification based on the origin or type of the frozen fish meat. 0304.99.91.90 specifically designates fish meat that is of oceanic origin. The remaining subcategory, 0304.99.91.92, acts as a further residual for any other frozen fish meat not originating from the ocean that still fits the broader definition of this "Other" category. This hierarchical breakdown ensures precise classification based on both product form and provenance.
