Heading 0303 covers frozen fish in whole or dressed form (e.g., gutted, headed), while heading 0304 covers frozen fish fillets and other fish meat. A product that has been cut into fillets or separated fish meat — even if refrozen — belongs in 0304, not 0303.
Yes, frozen fish livers and roes are classified within heading 0303 under their own dedicated subheadings, separate from the whole-fish subheadings. Importers should confirm whether a shipment contains only whole fish or also includes livers and roes, as these may fall under different tariff lines.
