Overview

Heading 1602 encompasses a broad range of prepared or preserved meat, meat offal, blood, and even insects. This category is distinct from fresh or chilled meats, as the products here have undergone some form of processing, such as cooking, canning, drying, salting, or smoking, rendering them preserved. The key criterion is that they are no longer in their raw state and are intended for consumption or further preparation.

This heading differentiates itself from other HTS chapters that might deal with raw animal products or specific processed food items. For instance, while Chapter 16 focuses on preparations of meat, fish, or aquatic invertebrates, heading 1602 specifically deals with the "other" preparations not covered by more specific headings within Chapter 16 that might pertain to specific types of fish or seafood. It's important to note that ingredients like spices or seasonings added during preparation are generally not enough to reclassify these products into a different heading, as long as the meat, offal, blood, or insect component remains the principal element.

Within heading 1602, further subheadings provide specific classifications based on the animal source or the nature of the preparation. For example, dedicated subheadings exist for homogenized preparations, preparations of liver, and preparations derived from poultry, swine, or bovine animals. The final residual subheading, 1602.90, covers other preparations, notably including those made from blood, which do not fit into the more specific animal-derived categories. This granular approach allows for precise customs assessment based on the primary ingredients and processing methods.
