Overview
This HTS category encompasses the species *Loligo opalescens*, commonly known as the Pacific market squid or California market squid. These cephalopods are classified under the broader heading for frozen squid. The classification at this level is specific to the species, indicating that the frozen squid within this code must be *Loligo opalescens* to be correctly classified.
This HTS code distinguishes *Loligo opalescens* from other closely related frozen squid species. For instance, it differs from 0307.43.00.24, which specifically covers *Loligo pealei* (the Atlantic longfin squid). The differentiation is based on the distinct biological species, which may have variations in size, appearance, and market applications relevant to customs purposes.
As this classification for *Loligo opalescens* is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. This means that all frozen shipments identified as *Loligo opalescens* will fall under this specific 12-digit code, provided they meet the general requirements for frozen squid under heading 0307.43.00.
