1604.14.10.99 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 1604.14.10.99, encompasses prepared or preserved tuna and skipjack tuna, packed in airtight containers and preserved in oil, that do not fall under the specific subcategory of "Albacore" (1604.14.10.91). It covers a broad range of tuna species, excluding albacore, which are processed and sealed in cans or similar containers, with oil being the primary preserving medium.

The distinction from its sibling category, 1604.14.10.91, lies solely in the species of tuna. While both are preserved tunas and skipjack in oil within airtight containers, 1604.14.10.91 is exclusively for albacore tuna. This residual "Other" category captures all other types of tuna and skipjack tuna processed and packaged in this manner.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 1604.14.10.99 relies on confirming that the product is indeed prepared or preserved tuna or skipjack, packed in an airtight container with oil, and that it is not albacore tuna. This ensures accurate reporting and duty assessment for these specific seafood products.
