0307.43.00.24 - Loligo pealei

This classification covers frozen Loligo pealei, commonly known as the longfin inshore squid or just "Loligo" squid. This designation specifically applies to this species of squid when it is presented in a frozen state, irrespective of whether it is whole, in pieces, or processed, as long as the primary classification remains based on the frozen Loligo pealei species.

Distinction from sibling categories is crucial for accurate classification. While 0307.43.00.22 also falls under frozen squid and specifically classifies Loligo opalescens (Pacific market squid), this code, 0307.43.00.24, is dedicated solely to Loligo pealei. The sibling category 0307.43.00.29, "Other," is reserved for any frozen squid not specifically identified as Loligo pealei or Loligo opalescens within this subheading.

As this HTS code represents a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Classification at this level is determined by the species (Loligo pealei) and the state of preservation (frozen) within the broader category of cuttle fish and squid. Therefore, any product meeting these specific criteria, regardless of further processing or presentation, will be classified under 0307.43.00.24.
