Overview
This HTS category, 0307.84.00.00, specifically classifies frozen stromboid conchs (Strombus spp.). This means the product must be from the Strombus genus and must have undergone a freezing process. The classification applies to the conch meat itself, whether shelled or not, as long as it is in a frozen state.
It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. Unlike 0307.82.00.00, which covers live, fresh, or chilled stromboid conchs, this category is solely for the frozen form. Furthermore, while 0307.83.00.00 also deals with frozen molluscs, it is exclusively for abalone (Haliotis spp.), whereas 0307.84.00.00 is specifically for stromboid conchs. This distinction emphasizes the importance of both species and physical state (frozen) for correct classification.
As a leaf node within the HTS structure, 0307.84.00.00 has no further subdivisions. Therefore, all qualifying frozen stromboid conchs, regardless of presentation (e.g., whole, fillets, diced), will fall under this specific code, provided they meet the frozen criteria and are identified as belonging to the Strombus genus. Classification hinges on confirming both the species and the frozen condition of the product.
