1603.00.90 - Other
Sub-classifications
Overview
HTS code 1603.00.90 encompasses extracts and juices derived from meat, fish, crustaceans, molluscs, or other aquatic invertebrates, excluding specific items classified elsewhere. This broad category serves as a residual designation for such preparations that do not fall under more precisely defined subheadings within Chapter 16. The key characteristic is that these are liquid or semi-liquid preparations obtained through methods like extraction, pressing, or simmering, intended for consumption or use as ingredients.
This subheading distinguishes itself from other extract and juice classifications by its broad coverage. For instance, while 1603.00.10.00 specifically addresses clam juice, 1603.00.90 is a more general classification for a wider array of aquatic and meat-based liquid extracts. The distinction lies in the specific source organism and any explicit exclusions provided by more granular tariff lines.
Within 1603.00.90, further subdivisions exist to refine classification based on the primary source material. The subcategory 1603.00.90.10 is designated for extracts and juices derived specifically from meat. The residual category, 1603.00.90.90, then covers all other remaining extracts and juices of fish, crustaceans, molluscs, and other aquatic invertebrates not otherwise specified, ensuring that all eligible products are appropriately classified under this chapter.
