Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

0304.81Same rate: 10%

If specifically chinook/king salmon (Oncorhynchus tschawytscha)

Certain Pacific salmon like king have statistical breaks before 'other'; exact species determines sub-breakout.

0713.10.20Higher: 35% vs 10%

If dried, pelletized or rendered unfit for human consumption

Chapter notes exclude human-fit pellets/flours from 0304-0308, moving fish-derived pellets to Chapter 07 or 23.

0307.60.00Higher: 40% vs 10%

If minced frozen salmon meat, not whole fillets

Minced fish meat, even from Pacific salmon, classifies under 0307 for shellfish/other, separate from intact fillets.

Import Tips & Compliance

Obtain species-specific DNA test certificates if requested, as chum salmon morphology can overlap with other Pacific types

Declare exact HTS to 10 digits; aggregate 'other' avoids higher duties on king/chinook but requires precise Pacific species proof

Avoid common pitfall of block-freezing with excessive water, risking downgrade to fish meat or blocks under different notes
