1604.14.50.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 1604.14.50.00, specifically covers "Other" prepared fish, within the broader group of tunas and skipjack tuna. Following the hierarchical classification, these goods are prepared fish, either whole or in pieces but not minced, specifically from the tuna and skipjack species. The key differentiator for this subcategory is that the fish are not contained within airtight packaging.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 1604.14.40.00, is crucial. The sibling classification pertains to tunas and skipjack tuna that are not in oil and are presented either in bulk or in immediate containers weighing over 6.8 kilograms with their contents. Therefore, 1604.14.50.00 captures the remaining tunas and skipjack tuna not meeting the specific criteria of the sibling, primarily by focusing on products not intended for bulk presentation or heavier packaging, and implicitly including those that may be packed in oil or in smaller, non-airtight containers not covered by other specific subheadings.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 1604.14.50.00. Classification at this level is definitive and does not break down into more granular distinctions. Therefore, the focus for classification within this category relies heavily on the exclusion criteria established by its parent and sibling categories, ensuring that only those tunas and skipjack tuna that are preserved, not minced, not in bulk or heavy containers (as per the sibling), and not in airtight packaging are correctly assigned to this heading.
