1604.12.60 - Other

This HTS classification, 1604.12.60, covers "Other" preparations of herrings, falling under the broader category of whole or minced fish, not minced. It specifically pertains to herring products that do not fit into more defined subcategories. This allows for the classification of a variety of herring preparations that may not be explicitly enumerated elsewhere within the 1604.12 subheadings.

To differentiate, this category is distinct from sibling category 1604.12.40.00, which specifically enumerates herrings in tomato sauce, smoked or kippered, and packed in immediate containers weighing over 0.45 kg. Therefore, 1604.12.60 is intended for all other forms of prepared herring that do not meet these precise criteria, such as those prepared in different sauces, marinated, or packed in varying container sizes.

This category serves as a residual holding place for herring preparations that fall outside the more specific classifications. The subcategories that follow, "Pickled" and "Other," further refine these residual preparations. "Pickled" herrings will be classified under a specific subdivision, while any remaining preparations not otherwise specified will fall under the final "Other" designation, ensuring comprehensive coverage of all prepared herring products within this chapter.
