Overview
This HTS category, 0307.72.00.55, encompasses "Other" frozen clams not specifically enumerated elsewhere within the subheading. It captures a variety of clam species that are preserved through freezing, intended for consumption, and do not fall under more specific classifications within the frozen clam segment. The defining characteristic is their frozen state, which preserves their freshness and extends their shelf life for import and export purposes.
To differentiate, this "Other" category serves as a residual classification for frozen clams. It is distinct from the sibling categories 0307.72.00.30 (Geoduck) and 0307.72.00.51 (Stimson's). While those siblings refer to specific named species of clams, this category is for any other type of clam that has been frozen and does not fit into the more narrowly defined sibling classifications.
As a leaf node, this classification has no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into 0307.72.00.55 relies on accurately determining that the imported or exported frozen clam is indeed a clam, is frozen, and is not a geoduck or a Stimson's clam. Importers and exporters should consult detailed species guides or other supporting documentation if there is any ambiguity regarding the identity of the clam species being classified.
