1602.50.60.00 - Other

HTS Code 1602.50.60.00 encompasses a broad range of prepared or preserved meat products derived from bovine animals that do not contain cereals or vegetables, and are not packed in airtight containers. This category serves as a residual classification for bovine meat preparations not specifically detailed under other subheadings. Examples include diced or minced cooked beef, beef sausages (not containing cereals or vegetables), or beef pâtés and similar spreads, which have undergone preservation methods such as canning (in non-airtight containers), drying, salting, or cooking.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling, 1602.50.21, which specifically covers bovine meat preparations packed in airtight containers. Therefore, products classified under 1602.50.60.00 would typically be found in flexible packaging, jars (not hermetically sealed), or sold as bulk items. The absence of cereals or vegetables is a key defining characteristic, excluding items like beef stews with potatoes or beef pies with pastry.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification hinges on the exclusion of cereals and vegetables, the specific origin of the meat (bovine animals), and the method of preservation and packaging. Careful consideration of all ingredients and the final presentation of the product is crucial for accurate classification under this subheading.
