0307.31.00.90 - Other

This HTS code, 0307.31.00.90, encompasses mussels that are live, fresh, or chilled, and do not fall under the "farmed" category. This means it covers wild-caught mussels in these states, as well as any farmed mussels that may not strictly meet the criteria for the sibling classification. The key distinction lies in the origin and specific processing for the sibling category, while this code captures the broader scope of uncultivated or otherwise unclassified live, fresh, or chilled mussels.

To accurately classify under this heading, focus on the physical state of the mussels: they must be alive, or have been freshly harvested and not undergone freezing, drying, salting, brining, or smoking. The "Other" designation within this subcategory is crucial for ensuring all eligible live, fresh, or chilled mussels, whether wild or farmed but not specifically designated as "farmed" under the sibling code, are accounted for.

As this represents a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification under 0307.31.00.90 depends solely on identifying mussels that are live, fresh, or chilled, and ensuring they are not specifically classified under the preceding "Farmed" sibling category. Examples would include any wild-caught mussels meeting these criteria or any farmed mussels whose production methods do not align with the specific requirements of the "farmed" code.
