Overview
This HTS classification, 0308.21.00.29, encompasses sea urchins that are presented live, fresh, or chilled, excluding their roe. It specifically refers to the entire body of the sea urchin, prepared for market in these state conditions. The classification applies to various species of sea urchins, as identified within the broader category for sea urchins under heading 0308.21.
The key distinction of this category from its sibling, 0308.21.00.21 (Roe), lies in the form of the product. While the sibling category is solely dedicated to the eggs or reproductive organs of sea urchins, this classification pertains to the whole sea urchin organism itself, irrespective of whether the roe is present or not, as long as the product is in its live, fresh, or chilled state.
As this classification is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is complete at this level, and importers and exporters should ensure that the goods precisely match the description of live, fresh, or chilled sea urchins, and are not specifically the roe thereof, to correctly apply this HTS code. The intent is to capture the broader presentation of the sea urchin product before any further processing that would lead to different classifications.
