0305.42.00.50 - Boneless

This HTS category, 0305.42.00.50, specifically classifies boneless smoked herrings. It encompasses fillets or pieces of herring that have undergone a smoking process and have had all bones removed. The absence of bones is a key distinguishing characteristic for this subcategory, differentiating it from other forms of smoked herring that might still contain bones.

Within the broader classification of smoked herrings, this code is distinct from other potential sibling categories at the 0305.42.00 level by its specific exclusion of bone content. The parent category covers smoked fish generally, and this subdivision zeroes in on a particular preparation method and cut of herring.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification is therefore precise, focusing solely on boneless smoked herrings. Examples of goods falling under this code would include pre-packaged boneless smoked herring fillets intended for retail sale or consumption, provided they meet the criteria of being smoked and bone-free.
