1602.32.00.30 - Other

This HTS category, 1602.32.00.30, encompasses "Other" prepared or preserved preparations of poultry of heading 0105, specifically chicken, that do not fall under the more specific classification of chicken preparations packed in airtight containers. This classification is intended for a broad range of chicken preparations, including but not limited to, those packed in pouches, cans (other than airtight), jars, or frozen blocks, provided they meet the general criteria of being prepared or preserved. The key differentiator from its sibling category lies in the packaging method, with this code being applicable to all preparations not sealed for long-term preservation via airtight containment.

Given that this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into this code relies heavily on the precise definition of "prepared or preserved" and the exclusion from the "in airtight containers" category. Importers and exporters must carefully assess the nature of the chicken preparation and its packaging to ensure accurate classification. This includes considering the cooking or processing methods employed (e.g., stewed, fried, roasted, diced, ground) and the form of preservation beyond simple refrigeration or freezing, unless such freezing is not within an airtight seal.
