Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If considered 'other fish meat' rather than roe
Misidentification of roe as minced fish meat shifts to heading 0304 for frozen fish meat products.
If dried and presented in pellet form
Dried leguminous pellets don't apply, but agglomerated dried roe could analogize to Chapter 7 if not fish-specific.
If for roe from specific fish like Alaska pollock instead
Roe classification is species-specific; non-herring roe uses other subheadings within 0303.91.
