Overview
This HTS category, 0307.43.00.50, specifically classifies "Other" cuttlefish and squid that are in a frozen state. This designation applies to frozen squid that do not fall under the more specific "Loligo" subcategory. Therefore, it encompasses a broad range of frozen squid species and preparations beyond the commonly traded Loligo varieties.
The distinction between this "Other" category and its sibling, "Loligo," is crucial for accurate classification. While "Loligo" refers to a particular genus of squid widely recognized for its commercial importance, this category captures all other frozen squid that do not meet the criteria for the "Loligo" classification. This includes various species, preparations such as rings or tubes, or squid that may have undergone minor processing before freezing, as long as they are not specifically Loligo.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification hinges on whether the frozen squid is identified as belonging to the Loligo genus or if it falls into the broader "other" classification of frozen squid. Importers and exporters should consult specific species identification guides or product specifications to ensure correct duty rates are applied.
