Frozen Headed and Gutted Greenland Turbot
Frozen Greenland halibut prepared by removing the head and viscera, retaining the body for food use. This dressing method does not turn the fish into a fillet or fish meat, so it remains classified as frozen flatfish under tariff item 0303.31.00, specifically for the species Reinhardtius hippoglossoides.
