Fresh Chilled Sockeye Salmon Fillets
Fresh or chilled whole fillets from sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka), excluding liver and roe. Despite being fillets, the product is described as classified under 0302.13.00, which covers Pacific salmon in fresh or chilled state; however, fillets are typically excluded from heading 03.02 and fall under 03.04. The description notes that it is not processed into fillets of heading 03.04, but this is contradictory; the product is a fillet, so classification under 0302.13.00 is incorrect.
