0504.00.00.60 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 0504.00.00.60, encompasses "Other" guts, bladders, and stomachs of animals, excluding fish, in various processed states including fresh, chilled, frozen, salted, in brine, dried, or smoked. It serves as a residual category for such animal products that do not fall under more specific subheadings within heading 0504. This includes, for instance, animal intestines or stomachs that are not specifically prepared for use as sausage casings but are intended for other industrial or manufacturing purposes, or as raw materials.

This subheading distinguishes itself from its sibling category, which is specifically for animal casings prepared for use in the manufacture of sausages. While both relate to animal by-products, the "Other" classification here focuses on guts, bladders, and stomachs not destined for or processed into a form suitable for direct use as sausage casings. The distinction is based on the intended use and the degree of preparation, with the sibling category implying a specific functional preparation for a food manufacturing purpose.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this subheading is determined by the fundamental characteristics of the product – namely, that it is a whole or piece of the gut, bladder, or stomach of an animal (excluding fish), and it is not specifically prepared for use as sausage casings. The various preservation methods (fresh, chilled, frozen, salted, in brine, dried, or smoked) are all encompassed within this residual designation.
