Overview
This HTS classification covers hake, specifically when it is dried, salted, or preserved in brine, and has been processed by the removal of heads, fins, viscera, scales, vertebral columns, or any combination thereof, but is not otherwise processed. This designation is crucial for distinguishing specific types of fish preparations within the broader category of salted, dried, or brined fish.
Within this level of detail, the classification for hake is distinct from its siblings. Specifically, HTS code 0305.69.10.22 applies to pollock, while 0305.69.10.29 covers haddock and cusk. Therefore, the key differentiator here is the species of fish itself, ensuring accurate tariff application based on the particular type of saltwater fish being imported or exported.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to explore under this specific code. Classification is complete at this point, meaning that any product meeting the description of hake, processed as outlined and falling under the salted, dried, or brined fish heading, will be assigned this code. The focus remains on the species and the extent of initial processing.
