Overview
This HTS category, 1604.16.60.00, covers "Other" prepared or preserved fish, specifically anchovies, that are presented whole or in pieces but not minced. This designation is used for anchovy preparations that do not fit into more specific subcategories within the broader heading for prepared or preserved fish. The classification is concerned with anchovies prepared in a manner that preserves them for consumption, beyond simple freezing or fresh presentation.
Crucially, this category distinguishes itself from its sibling, 1604.16.40.00. The sibling category specifically applies to anchovies in immediate containers weighing 6.8 kg or less each. Therefore, 1604.16.60.00 is intended for anchovy preparations that are either not packed in immediate containers, or are packed in containers exceeding the 6.8 kg weight limit. This distinction is based on the packaging and its gross weight.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification criteria for goods falling under 1604.16.60.00 are therefore the general definitions of prepared or preserved anchovies (whole or in pieces, not minced) and the exclusion from the specific packaging and weight criteria of its sibling. This means that any such anchovy preparations not falling under the immediate container weight restriction will be classified here.
