Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If fillets of tilapia, catfish (Ictalurus spp.), or other named species

If sold as fish sticks, portions, or shaped fillets
Cut, shaped, or breaded frozen fish portions shift to heading 0307 for miscellaneous prepared fish products.
If fresh or chilled rather than frozen
Fresh/chilled wolffish fillets classify under 0302; freezing moves it to 0304 per HTS structure.
