Overview

This HTS category, 1604.11.40.50, encompasses prepared or preserved salmon that does not fit into more specific subcategories. It includes salmon that has been processed beyond simple freezing or chilling, but is not hermetically sealed in containers for long-term preservation. This classification is broad and serves as a catch-all for various forms of preserved salmon.

Unlike the sibling category "Canned," which specifically refers to salmon preserved in hermetically sealed containers, this "Other" category includes preparations like salmon that may be cured, smoked (though not fully cooked and canned), dried, or lightly processed in ways that extend shelf life but do not involve canning. The key differentiator is the absence of the canning process as the primary method of preservation.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, the classification relies on the explicit exclusion from the "Canned" category and the general definition of prepared or preserved fish. Importers and exporters should ensure their salmon products are not hermetically sealed in cans before classifying them under this code.
