Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If pink (humpback) salmon species
Other Pacific species like Oncorhynchus gorbuscha are in adjacent subheading 0303.13 within the salmon group.
If further processed into belly flaps or meat pieces
Any reduction to fish meat or specific cuts beyond whole form shifts to heading 0304 subheadings.
If dried or dehydrated rather than frozen
Frozen excludes other preservation methods; dried fish legs would be in Chapter 07 for vegetables but analogous for seafood.
