A fillet is a slice of flesh cut parallel to the backbone, with or without skin, free of most bones. Irregular cuts, minced flesh, or belly flaps may fall outside the fillet definition and could be classified under a different subheading — a distinction worth confirming with a licensed customs broker.
Yes. Fresh or chilled tilapia fillets (0304310000) and frozen tilapia fillets are classified under separate HTS subheadings and may carry different duty rates. Importers should verify the product's temperature status at time of entry, as misclassification between fresh/chilled and frozen is a common audit finding.
