Fresh Chilled Sockeye Salmon Fillets from China
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.

Import Tips
• Verify whether the product is a fillet or a whole fish; fillets of salmon are classified under heading 03.04, not 03.02
• If it is a fillet, use tariff item 0304.81.00 for fresh or chilled fillets
• Ensure accurate product description to avoid CBSA reclassification and potential penalties
