Overview
This HTS classification, 1602.50.07.40, specifically covers corned beef that has been cured or pickled and is packaged within airtight containers. This product falls under the broader category of "Other prepared or preserved meat, meat offal, blood or insects" from bovine animals, excluding those containing cereals or vegetables. The emphasis on "airtight containers" is a critical determinant for classification within this specific sub-category.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 1602.50.07.20, hinges on the packaging format. While both deal with cured or pickled corned beef from bovine animals, 1602.50.07.20 pertains to products packaged in containers holding less than 1 kilogram. Therefore, 1602.50.07.40 exclusively applies to corned beef in airtight packaging where the container weight is 1 kilogram or more, or where the intent of "airtight containers" is the primary distinguishing factor regardless of the net weight of the product inside.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under this specific HTS code. Classification at this level requires careful attention to both the preparation method (cured or pickled) and the type of packaging (airtight containers) to ensure accurate customs declaration for imported or exported corned beef products.
