Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If Pacific cod species
While Atlantic cod fits 0305.49.40.20, other cod varieties may fall under broader 'other' smoked fish if not specifically listed.
If breaded or further prepared
Breaded or stuffed smoked cod becomes a prepared fish product under Chapter 16, not simple smoked fish.
If hake (Merluccius spp.) rather than cod
Hake species outside Urophycis may route to other statistical suffixes within the same heading.
