Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

If in simple dried fillets, not ground into flour
Lacking processing into flour shifts to heading 0305 for dried fish, not Chapter 30 meals.
If mixed with seasonings or other ingredients for retail
Blends become food preparations under 2106, not pure fish flour of 0309.
