0307.72.00.60 - Other 🖩

This HTS subcategory, 0307.72.00.60, specifically covers "Other" frozen clams, cockles, and ark shells that do not fall under more specific classifications within the broader category of frozen molluscs. This includes a wide variety of bivalve molluscs from the listed families (Arcidae, Arcticidae, Cardiidae, Donacidae, Hiatellidae, Mactridae, Mesodesmatidae, Myidae, Semelidae, Solecurtidae, Solenidae, Tridacnidae, and Veneridae) that have been preserved through freezing. The key classification criterion here is the state of preservation (frozen) and the type of mollusc, encompassing those that are not further processed or prepared in a way that would warrant a different HTS code.

Within the "Frozen" level of clams, cockles, and ark shells, this "Other" category serves as a residual classification. Its sibling category, "Clams," would typically encompass more specific classifications of clams, potentially distinguished by species, size, or intended use if such distinctions are provided for at this level. Therefore, this "Other" classification is crucial for ensuring all frozen clams, cockles, and ark shells are correctly accounted for, even if they do not fit into a more narrowly defined sub-grouping.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 0307.72.00.60 is final for products meeting these criteria. For accurate classification, importers and exporters should verify that the goods are indeed frozen bivalve molluscs from the specified families and are not subject to other specific provisions or further processing that might alter their tariff classification.
