1602.90.91.80 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 1602.90.91.80, encompasses "Other" prepared or preserved meat, meat offal, blood, or insects that do not fall under more specific subheadings within the broader category of 1602.90.91. This includes preparations of blood from any animal, as well as other miscellaneous meat-based preparations not specifically listed elsewhere in this chapter. The key distinguishing feature is its residual nature, covering items that are prepared or preserved but do not fit into explicitly defined types such as canned goods.

In contrast to its sibling category, 1602.90.91.60 which specifically designates "Canned" preparations, this subheading covers a wider array of preservation methods and product forms. Examples might include air-dried meat products, freeze-dried meat preparations, or other processed meat items that are not hermetically sealed in cans. The classification hinges on the absence of a canned presentation and the specific nature of the preparation, ensuring that all other "other" types of prepared or preserved meat, offal, blood, or insect preparations are appropriately accounted for.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classifying goods under 1602.90.91.80 is on meticulously evaluating the product's preparation method, its constituent ingredients (primarily meat, offal, blood, or insects), and confirming that it does not meet the criteria for any other more specific subheading within Chapter 16. This requires careful attention to the exact form and preservation techniques employed.
