Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the blackfin tuna is filleted or cut into pieces
Fillets and other meat of bigeye tuna (a similar species) are classified under specific subheadings, not 'other'.
If the species is not Thunnus atlanticus (e.g., misidentified)
Other frozen fish would apply if the product is not a Thunnus species.
