Overview
This HTS category, 1604.11.40.20, specifically covers canned pink salmon, also known as "humpie" salmon. These are whole fish or pieces of pink salmon that have been preserved in a hermetically sealed container, typically cans, and are ready for consumption. The classification focuses on the species of salmon and its method of preservation.
This classification is distinct from its sibling categories by the specific species of salmon. While 1604.11.40.10 covers chum (dog) salmon and 1604.11.40.30 covers sockeye salmon, this particular code is reserved for pink salmon. 1604.11.40.40 serves as a residual category for other species of canned salmon not otherwise specified.
As a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subdivisions for this specific code. Therefore, classification under 1604.11.40.20 relies on the accurate identification of the salmon as pink (humpie) species and its preparation as canned fish, adhering to the broader scope of chapter 16 concerning prepared or preserved fish.
