0308.29.01.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, "Other," under heading 0308.29.01.00, encompasses sea urchins that do not fall under the more specific classifications of live, fresh, chilled, or frozen. This broadly includes sea urchins that have undergone preservation methods beyond simple chilling or freezing, such as drying, salting, or being packed in brine. Smoked sea urchins, regardless of whether they were cooked prior to or during the smoking process, are also classified here, provided they are not fresh, chilled, or frozen.

The key distinction for this "Other" category lies in the processing applied to the sea urchins. While the sibling categories 0308.21.00 and 0308.22.00.00 specifically address sea urchins in their less processed states (live, fresh, chilled, or frozen), this category captures products that have been significantly altered by methods like dehydration, curing, or smoking. This means that if a sea urchin has been dried for preservation or preserved in a salt solution, it will be classified here rather than with its fresh or frozen counterparts.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 0308.29.01.00. Therefore, the classification of specific products will rely on accurately determining if they meet the criteria for being dried, salted, in brine, or smoked, and are not otherwise classified as fresh, chilled, or frozen sea urchins. This requires careful examination of the product's state and the preservation techniques employed.
