Frozen Skinned Chum Salmon Blocks for Mincing from Canada
Frozen skinned chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) in blocks exceeding 4.5 kg, whether whole fillets or piece-divided, destined for mincing into fish sticks or uniform portions. This matches HTS 0304.81.10.00 precisely for frozen Pacific salmon blocks intended for industrial size reduction. Differs from retail frozen fillets.

Import Tips
• Include end-user letters from US processors stating intent to mince/ground/cut to support tariff classification
• Conduct moisture/protein analysis if needed to distinguish from surimi precursors under seafood regs
• Avoid declaring as 'fillets' without block specs, risking reclassification to general frozen fillets
