Hake of the genus Urophycis — including red hake (Urophycis chuss) and white hake (Urophycis tenuis), both native to the Northwest Atlantic — classifies under HTS 0304745000 when presented as frozen fillets not covered by the large-block processing subheading. These species are biologically and commercially distinct from the Merluccius hake that dominates South American and Southern African exports, and the genus-level distinction is the operative classification criterion. Volumes under this subheading tend to be smaller than for Merluccius hake, reflecting the more limited commercial scale of Urophycis fisheries. FDA HACCP and prior notice requirements apply at entry.
