Overview
Category 0307.87.00.00, "Other abalone (Haliotis spp.)," encompasses abalone that does not fit into the more specific classifications of live, fresh, chilled, or frozen. This typically includes dried, salted, or brine-preserved abalone, as well as abalone that has undergone cooking processes beyond simple smoking and is not in a fresh or frozen state. The scope is limited to the mollusk species within the genus Haliotis.
This category is distinguished from its siblings by the processing state of the abalone. Specifically, 0307.87.00.00 differentiates itself from 0307.81.00.00 (live, fresh, or chilled abalone) and 0307.83.00.00 (frozen abalone) by covering abalone that is preserved through drying, salting, or brining, or has been cooked by methods other than freezing. It also excludes stromboid conchs (Strombus spp.), which are classified under separate headings within 0307.80.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. The classification hinges on determining whether the abalone falls into the "other" category based on its preservation method and absence of the conditions specified in the preceding sibling entries. Careful consideration of the specific processing applied to the abalone is crucial for accurate classification.
