1602.90.91.60 - Canned

This HTS classification, 1602.90.91.60, specifically designates "Canned" preparations of meat, meat offal, blood, or insects that do not fall under more specific subheadings within the broader category of "Other prepared or preserved meat, meat offal, blood or insects." This subheading is reserved for products that are preserved through canning, indicating a method of sealing food in a container and heating it to kill microorganisms and prevent spoilage. Examples would include various types of canned meats or meat preparations where the primary preservation method is canning.

Within the immediate "Other" level of classification (1602.90.91), this subheading differs from its sibling, 1602.90.91.80, which also falls under "Other" but does not specifically denote the canning method of preservation. Therefore, the key differentiating factor is the preservation technique employed; this code is for canned goods, while its sibling would encompass other forms of preservation for similar unclassified preparations.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. The classification terminates at this level, meaning any product meeting the criteria of being an "other" prepared or preserved meat, meat offal, blood, or insect preparation that is preserved by canning will be classified under 1602.90.91.60. The focus for classification at this point is on identifying the presence of meat, offal, blood, or insects, the "other" nature of the preparation (i.e., not otherwise specified elsewhere), and the definitive use of canning as the preservation method.
