Overview

This HTS category, 1602.50.07.20, specifically covers corned beef that has been cured or pickled and is presented in airtight containers holding less than 1 kilogram. The "corned beef" designation implies a preparation method involving the curing of beef, typically with salt and spices. The airtight packaging is crucial for preservation, and the weight limitation of less than 1 kg per container serves as a key differentiating factor for classification.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 1602.50.07.40 "Other," which would encompass any other preparations of bovine meat meeting the preceding criteria but not specifically identified as corned beef in airtight containers of less than 1 kg. Therefore, for classification, it is essential to confirm both the specific product (corned beef) and its packaging presentation (airtight containers, less than 1 kg).

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. The classification is finalized at this specific level based on the described product characteristics. Importers and exporters must ensure their goods precisely align with the definition of cured or pickled corned beef in airtight containers of the specified weight to utilize this classification code correctly.
