Overview
This classification covers cuttlefish and squid that are imported live, fresh, or chilled. It is important to note that this category specifically excludes molluscs that have undergone further processing such as freezing, drying, salting, brining, or smoking, even if these processes occur before or during smoking. The primary characteristic for inclusion here is the state of the mollusc: uncooked and preserved only by refrigeration or held live.
Within the "Squid" subcategory, this HTS code functions as an "Other" designation. It serves as a catch-all for squid not specifically enumerated in preceding sibling categories at this level. Currently, the primary sibling distinction is for "Loligo" squid. Therefore, if an imported squid species is not identified as Loligo, it would typically fall under this "Other" classification, provided it meets the live, fresh, or chilled criteria.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions or subcategories below 0307.42.00.40. Classification decisions at this level will hinge on whether the imported squid is explicitly identified as Loligo or falls into a different, unspecified category of squid, while adhering strictly to the conditions of being live, fresh, or chilled.
