Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If processed beyond permitted removals, e.g., fully filleted
More extensive processing like filleting excludes it from whole/partial subheading into other processed salted fish.
If ground into flour, meal, or pellets fit for human consumption
Chapter notes exclude flours/meals/pellets from 0305-0308 if edible, shifting to heading 0309.
If dried, even if salted
Salting combined with drying classifies as meat provisions including salted/dried fish outside Chapter 03 fresh forms.
