Overview
This classification covers fish that have been salted but not dried or smoked, or are preserved in brine, specifically excluding edible fish offal. Within this broad category, the focus is on certain species of cod-like fish.
This particular subheading, 0305.69.10.49, is specifically for haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) and cusk (Brosme brosme). It distinguishes these species from other closely related fish that fall under separate sibling subheadings. For instance, hake (Urophycis spp.) and pollock are classified under 0305.69.10.41 and 0305.69.10.42 respectively, despite sharing similar processing methods and being grouped within the broader "Cusk, haddock, hake and pollock" category.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subdivisions for haddock and cusk. Therefore, classification at this level relies solely on the accurate identification of the fish species itself, ensuring it is indeed haddock or cusk that has been salted or preserved in brine, and not dried or smoked.
