1601.00.20.10 - Canned

This HTS subheading, 1601.00.20.10, specifically covers sausages and similar products derived from pork, prepared and presented in canned form. These preparations fall under Chapter 16, which broadly encompasses various processed meat and fish products. The "canned" designation signifies a specific preservation method and packaging, distinguishing these items from other pork-based preparations that might be fresh, chilled, frozen, or preserved in different ways.

The primary distinction for this category lies in its specific inclusion of pork as the base ingredient and its packaging as preserved in cans. This differentiates it from the sibling category 1601.00.20.90, which would encompass similar pork-based sausages and preparations but preserved or packaged differently (e.g., vacuum-sealed, in brine, or other non-canned formats). The focus here is on the combined criteria of pork origin and canning for preservation.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 1601.00.20.10. Therefore, the classification is definitive for pork-based sausages and similar food preparations that have been processed and sealed within cans for extended shelf life. Importers and exporters should ensure that the product's primary ingredient is pork and that it is presented in a sealed, canned format to correctly utilize this subheading.
