Hake Price Questions
- What exactly is classified as hake in trade?
- Hake refers to the whole fish of species Merluccius spp. and Urophycis spp., fresh or chilled, and excludes fillets, fish meat of subheading 0304, and edible offal.
- How should fresh or chilled hake be stored to maintain quality?
- Fresh or chilled hake should be kept at temperatures close to 0 °C, protected from cross‑contamination and moisture loss, and the cold chain must be maintained from harvest through transport.
- Can hake be processed directly into fillets or other products?
- Yes, hake can be further processed into fillets, minced fish meat or other forms, but the HS classification for hake itself excludes fillets and meat that fall under subheading 0304.
