1504.20.60 - Other
Sub-classifications
Overview
This HTS classification, 1504.20.60, encompasses fats and oils, as well as their fractions, derived from fish, specifically excluding liver oils. This category is designated for "Other" fish sources not explicitly listed at the preceding subheadings. It captures a broad range of fish-derived lipids, which can be in a refined or unrefined state but must not have undergone chemical modification.
Unlike sibling categories such as 1504.20.20 (Cod) and 1504.20.40 (Herring), this subheading serves as a residual category for fish oils not specifically identified. It captures fats and oils from various other edible or industrial fish species that do not fall under the more specific classifications, ensuring comprehensive coverage within the broader scope of fish and marine mammal fats and oils.
The subcategories within 1504.20.60 further refine the classification. 1504.20.60.20 specifically addresses Menhaden oil, a significant industrial and commercial fish oil. The remaining "Other" designation, 1504.20.60.40, acts as a final catch-all for any fish-derived fats and oils (excluding liver oils) not otherwise specified, ensuring all relevant products are correctly classified within this chapter.
