Overview
This HTS classification, specifically 1604.11.40.30, pertains to Sockeye salmon that has been prepared and preserved, typically in a canned form. This category encompasses whole or piece-cut salmon, excluding minced preparations, that fall under the broader heading of salmon. The emphasis is on the specific species of salmon, Sockeye, being presented in a manner suitable for long-term storage and consumption.
Distinguishing this classification from its siblings, 1604.11.40.10 (Chum) and 1604.11.40.20 (Pink), is crucial. While all fall under "Canned Salmon," this specific code isolates the Sockeye species, known for its distinct reddish flesh and rich flavor. The classification 1604.11.40.40, "Other," would cover canned salmon of species not otherwise specified under this level.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for canned Sockeye salmon. Therefore, the classification hinges on the accurate identification of the Sockeye species and its presentation in a canned, preserved state, aligning with the requirements of Chapter 16 for preparations of fish.
