Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If other fish species like cod or haddock
Frozen skinned blocks of non-flatfish species over 4.5 kg for processing use a parallel but separate subheading.
If Atlantic halibut instead of Greenland turbot
Other specific flatfish species like Atlantic halibut have distinct statistical suffixes within the same heading.
If processed into pellets, flour, or meal fit for human consumption
Chapter notes exclude flours, meals, and pellets from headings 0305-0308, directing them to 0309.
