Overview
This HTS category, 0305.53.00.00, classifies dried fish, other than edible fish offal, whether or not salted but not smoked. Specifically, it encompasses fish belonging to the families Bregmacerotidae, Euclichthyidae, Gadidae, Macrouridae, Melanonidae, Merlucciidae, Moridae, and Muraenolepididae. These species are prepared through drying, and may also be salted, but they have not undergone a smoking process.
It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. For instance, 0305.51.00.00 specifically covers cod, whereas this category includes a broader range of fish families, explicitly excluding cod. Other sibling categories cover specific types of dried fish like tilapias, catfish, carp, eels, and various species of herrings, anchovies, sardines, mackerel, and others under 0305.52.00.00 and 0305.54.00.00, respectively. The residual "Other" category at this level is 0305.59.00.01.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification under 0305.53.00.00 relies solely on the species belonging to the specified families and the preparation method (dried, potentially salted, but not smoked). Any dried fish from these families that do not fall under the cod exclusion or other specific categories at this level will be classified here.
