0307.72.00.30 - Geoduck

This HTS classification, 0307.72.00.30, specifically covers "Geoduck" clams that are presented in a frozen state. Geoducks are a type of large, burrowing clam characterized by their elongated siphon. Within the broader category of frozen clams, this code identifies this specific species based on its unique biological characteristics.

This designation distinguishes geoduck from other types of frozen clams. For instance, while 0307.72.00.51 also falls under frozen clams, it is designated for "Stimson's" clams, which are a different species or variety. Similarly, the "Other" category at the same level (0307.72.00.55) would encompass any frozen clams that do not fit the specific definition of geoduck or Stimson's clams.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories beneath 0307.72.00.30. Therefore, classification to this specific code relies solely on the positive identification of the product as frozen geoduck clams. Importers and exporters should ensure that their documentation accurately reflects the species and its frozen state to facilitate correct customs clearance.
