0307.49.01.22 - Loligo opalescens

This HTS classification specifically covers the market squid, *Loligo opalescens*, in all its forms. This includes live, fresh, chilled, frozen, dried, salted, or brined squid, as well as smoked varieties, regardless of whether they are cooked prior to or during the smoking process. The classification is for squid belonging to the *Loligo* genus, excluding those that fall under specific prior subheadings.

This category is distinguished from its siblings, 0307.49.01.24 (*Loligo pealei*) and 0307.49.01.29 (Other *Loligo* species), by the precise scientific identification of the species. Proper classification relies on accurate species identification to ensure correct tariff application. As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories beneath this specific code. The scope is thus entirely defined by the singular product it covers, the market squid.
