0307.79.01.30 - Geoduck

This HTS category encompasses geoduck clams, a specific type of bivalve mollusk known for its distinctive long siphon. These geoducks fall under the broader classification of clams, as defined by the families listed in the parent category. The classification applies to geoduck in various forms, including live, fresh, chilled, frozen, dried, salted, in brine, or smoked, regardless of whether they are presented in their shell or have been cooked during the smoking process.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. While sibling categories like "Stimson's" and "Other" might refer to different species or less commonly identified clams within the broader "Clams" heading, this node specifically identifies and classifies the geoduck by its common name and unique characteristics. The differentiation is based on the recognized zoological identity of the geoduck, ensuring it is precisely categorized within the HTS.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on the definitive identification of geoduck clams and their various preparations. The classification here is exhaustive for geoduck, and any other types of clams not specifically identified as geoduck would fall under the "Other" sibling category, provided they meet the general criteria for clams within this chapter.
