1602.90.91 - Other

This classification, HTS Code 1602.90.91, encompasses "Other" prepared or preserved meat, meat offal, blood, or insects, excluding specific sub-classifications. It serves as a residual category for products that do not fit into more narrowly defined preparations within Chapter 16. This includes a broad array of items such as processed animal blood intended for consumption, insect-based preparations not elsewhere specified, or meat and offal that has undergone preservation methods like canning, drying, salting, or cooking and is not covered by other headings.

Crucially, HTS 1602.90.91 distinguishes itself from its sibling category, 1602.90.10.00 (Frog meat), by encompassing all other types of meat, offal, blood, and insect preparations not specifically classified as frog meat. While frog meat is a singular exclusion, this category acts as a catch-all for the vast diversity of other prepared animal products not specifically detailed in preceding HTS subheadings within 1602.

To further refine classification, HTS 1602.90.91 is subdivided into more specific categories. The subcategory 1602.90.91.60 covers preparations that are specifically canned, indicating a particular method of preservation and packaging. The subcategory 1602.90.91.80, "Other," then captures all remaining prepared or preserved meat, meat offal, blood, or insects that do not fall under the "canned" designation, ensuring a comprehensive classification system for these diverse food products.
