Overview
This HTS category, 0307.21.00.00, specifically covers scallops and other molluscs belonging to the family Pectinidae, presented in a live, fresh, or chilled state. This means the product is either still alive at the time of import, or has been recently harvested and kept under refrigeration to maintain its natural state without freezing. This category is crucial for distinguishing between immediate consumption products and those preserved through other means.
It is important to differentiate this classification from its siblings. Unlike 0307.22.00.00, which pertains to the same molluscs that have been frozen, this category explicitly excludes any product that has undergone a freezing process. Furthermore, it is distinct from 0307.29.01.00, which encompasses other preparations or processed forms of scallops and Pectinidae molluscs not covered by the immediate live, fresh, or chilled states.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 0307.21.00.00. Therefore, classification under this heading relies solely on confirming the live, fresh, or chilled condition of the scallops or other molluscs of the family Pectinidae. Importers should ensure that documentation and product handling align with the definition of these states to avoid misclassification.
