This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not specifically destined for mincing or cutting into uniform pieces
Frozen skinned fillets not imported explicitly for processing into minced or uniform products fall under the general 'other frozen fillets' category.
If skin-on rather than skinned
Frozen fillets with skin intact are classified separately from skinned fillets in the HTS structure for frozen fish meat.
If in consumer-ready packages under 4.5 kg
Fillets not in large blocks over 4.5 kg or not for further processing are treated as retail-ready products under different statistical suffixes.
