1602.50.90.40 - Other

This HTS category, 1602.50.90.40, encompasses a broad range of prepared or preserved products derived from bovine animals that do not fit into more specific subcategories. It includes items such as cooked, cured, or otherwise processed beef or veal products that are not ready-to-eat meals. The key defining characteristic is that these are preparations of bovine meat or offal, preserved through methods like canning, drying, salting, or smoking, but are not considered complete dishes.

This classification serves as a residual category for bovine meat preparations. It is distinct from sibling categories such as 1602.50.90.20, which specifically covers "Prepared meals" originating from bovine animals. While both fall under the broader umbrella of prepared bovine meat products, this category is intended for ingredients or components rather than fully formed meals intended for immediate consumption.

As this node is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 1602.50.90.40 relies on ensuring the product is a preparation of bovine meat or offal, has undergone preservation, and does not qualify for more narrowly defined sibling classifications. Examples might include canned corned beef that requires further preparation, beef jerky not sold as a single-serving snack, or freeze-dried beef cubes intended for culinary use.
