Alternative Classifications

If not skinned
Unskinned frozen fillets of Gadidae/Merlucciidae fall under 0304.71, as skinning changes the specific description.
If from other fish families like salmon
Fillets from non-specified families (e.g., Salmonidae) classify under 0304.89 'other frozen fillets'.
If fresh or chilled instead of frozen
Fresh/chilled fillets of Gadidae/Merlucciidae go to 0303.81, as this code is strictly for frozen products.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide affidavits or contracts proving import intent for mincing, grinding, or uniform cutting to qualify under this subheading
• Verify fish species belongs to specified families (e.g
• Merlucciidae) via scientific documentation; misidentification leads to reclassification
• Blocks must net over 4.5 kg each—include weight certificates; skinned status requires clear processing records
