Detailed information for HTS Code 0304.52.00

Chapter 3 covers fish and other aquatic creatures, and this specific code, 0304.52.00, deals with fillets and other meat from Salmonidae fish (salmon and trout) that are fresh, chilled, or frozen. This code has several subdivisions to further specify the type of salmon, including farmed and non-farmed Atlantic salmon (0304.52.00.10 and 0304.52.00.15), other salmon types (0304.52.00.20), and a general “other” category (0304.52.00.90). When reporting, choose the statistical suffix that best describes the specific salmon type and whether it was farm-raised to ensure accurate data collection.
