Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 030382 when importing or exporting frozen rays and skates, specifically from the family Rajidae. For instance, if you are shipping frozen skate wings or whole frozen rays, this code applies.
This code is distinct from HS-6 030381, which covers frozen fish of the same family but specifically for fillets. If your product is a whole frozen ray, you should use 030382, not 030381.
Frozen rays and skates are typically sold in bulk packaging, such as vacuum-sealed bags or boxes. These products are often used in various culinary applications, from gourmet dishes to traditional recipes.
When classifying your product, ensure it does not fall under HS-6 0304, which includes fish fillets and other fish meat. If your shipment includes edible fish offal, you will need to look at subheadings 0303.91 to 0303.99.
