Overview
This HTS classification, 0307.71.00.70, pertains to "Other" clams that are live, fresh, or chilled. Building upon the broader category of molluscs, this code specifically addresses clams within the families listed in the parent heading. It encompasses live clams ready for consumption or further processing, as well as those that have been freshly harvested and chilled to preserve their quality but have not undergone freezing, drying, salting, or smoking.
The distinguishing feature of this "Other" classification lies in its exclusion of specific types of clams already enumerated at the same level. Notably, it differentiates from sibling category 0307.71.00.50, which is exclusively for Geoduck clams. Therefore, 0307.71.00.70 applies to any live, fresh, or chilled clam species not otherwise specified.
As this node represents a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. This means that all shipments of live, fresh, or chilled clams that do not fall under the Geoduck classification are consolidated under this specific code. Importers and exporters should ensure that their product, when presented live, fresh, or chilled, does not meet the description of any other specific clam type before assigning it to this residual category.
