1602.50.90 - Other

This HTS category, 1602.50.90, encompasses "Other" prepared or preserved meat, meat offal, blood, or insects of bovine animals that do not fall under more specific subheadings. This implies a broad scope for any bovine meat preparations that haven't been explicitly classified elsewhere. Examples could include, but are not limited to, canned beef products in sauces or marinades not specifically defined in other categories, or specially prepared beef items meant for retail sale that don't fit into pre-defined meal kits or other specialized classifications.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings involves understanding the exclusions and inclusions at the preceding levels. The classification begins with general preparations of meat, then narrows to bovine animals, and subsequently to "Other." This "Other" designation is crucial, meaning it serves as a residual category for bovine meat preparations that do not qualify for more granular classifications, such as those containing cereals or vegetables, or specific types of meals.

The subcategories, 1602.50.90.20 (Prepared meals) and 1602.50.90.40 (Other), further refine this "Other" bovine meat preparation classification. 1602.50.90.20 is designated for complete prepared meals that contain bovine meat as a significant component. The 1602.50.90.40 subheading acts as a further residual, covering any remaining bovine meat preparations that are not considered complete meals and also do not fit into other more specific classifications. This hierarchical structure ensures a precise classification based on the product's composition and intended use.
