Products classified under Tariff item 0307.39
Dried Black Mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis)
Dried black mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) are whole mussels that have been dehydrated for long-term storage, typically used in soups and stews. They fall under tariff item 0307.39.10 because they are smoked, and the drying process does not exclude them from this classification. The chapter notes confirm that 'dried' includes dehydrated products, and these are not flours, meals, or pellets.
0307.39.10Dried New Zealand Green Mussels (Perna canaliculus)
Dried New Zealand green mussels (Perna canaliculus) are dehydrated whole mussels, often used in dietary supplements for their omega-3 content. They are classified under tariff item 0307.39.10 as smoked molluscs, provided they have undergone a smoking process. If not smoked, they would not fall under this item, but the description indicates they are dried without additives, so the smoking status must be verified.
0307.39.90Brined Chilean Mussels (Mytilus chilensis)
Brined Chilean mussels (Mytilus chilensis) are preserved in brine, a common method for extending shelf life without cooking or smoking. They fall under this tariff item as 'other' mussels, not smoked, and are fit for human consumption.
0307.39.90Frozen Blue Mussels (Mytilus edulis)
Frozen blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) are harvested from cold Atlantic waters and frozen without shell removal. They are not smoked, and they are fit for human consumption, so they fall under this tariff item as 'other' frozen mussels.
0307.39.90Frozen Green Lipped Mussels Half Shell (Perna canaliculus)
Frozen green lipped mussels on the half shell (Perna canaliculus) are partially shucked and frozen for restaurant use. They are not smoked and are fit for human consumption, so they fall under this tariff item as 'other' frozen mussels.
0307.39.90Frozen Prince Edward Island Mussels (Mytilus edulis)
Frozen Prince Edward Island mussels (Mytilus edulis) are farmed in Canadian waters and frozen immediately after harvest. They are not smoked and are fit for human consumption, so they fall under this tariff item as 'other' frozen mussels.
0307.39.90Salted Mediterranean Mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis)
Salted Mediterranean mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) are preserved in salt or brine while retaining their shell. They are not smoked or cooked, so they fall under this tariff item as 'other' salted mussels.
