1602.49.60.00 - Mixtures of pork and beef

This HTS classification, 1602.49.60.00, covers preparations of meat that are derived from swine (pork) and are also mixed with beef. The key defining characteristic of products within this subcategory is the presence of both pork and beef in a prepared or preserved form. These mixtures are not further specified by the type of cut or offal, as long as they contain both meats.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 1602.49.90.00, which is designated for "Other" prepared or preserved swine meat, meat offal, blood, or insects when they do not fall under more specific headings within 1602.49. The presence of a mixture with beef is the specific criterion that differentiates products classified under 1602.49.60.00.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus for classification within 1602.49.60.00 rests on confirming the composition of the product to ensure it contains both pork and beef in a prepared or preserved state, aligning with the broader scope of Chapter 16, which deals with preparations of meat.
