1603.00.90.10 - Of meat

This HTS category, 1603.00.90.10, specifically covers extracts and juices derived from meat, when these preparations are not otherwise classified. This includes concentrated or liquefied forms of meat that are intended for use as ingredients or flavorings in food products. The key characteristic is the origin of the extract or juice from meat, distinguishing it from similar preparations derived from fish or other aquatic invertebrates.

The distinction between this category and its sibling, 1603.00.90.90 ("Other"), lies solely in the source material. While both fall under the broader heading of "Other" extracts and juices of meat, fish or crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates, this specific subheading is exclusively for those derived from meat. Therefore, if an extract or juice is made from fish, for instance, it would not be classified here.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level relies on a definitive determination that the product is an extract or juice of meat and is not specifically provided for in more detailed subheadings elsewhere within Chapter 16 or other relevant chapters. The tariff rate applied will depend on the specific importing country's tariff schedule.
