1604.19.32.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 1604.19.32.00, encompasses "Other" prepared or preserved fish, whole or in pieces but not minced, which are packed in airtight containers and preserved in oil. This classification specifically addresses fish not otherwise enumerated within the preceding subheadings at this level, such as bonito, yellowtail, and pollock, which are explicitly detailed under 1604.19.25.00. The key distinguishing factor for this category is the inclusion of a broader range of fish species that meet the criteria of being prepared, preserved whole or in pieces in oil, and sealed in airtight packaging.

Given that this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification relies on the specific characteristics of the product: it must be prepared or preserved fish, presented as whole pieces or chunks (not minced), packed in oil, and sealed in a manner that ensures airtight preservation. Therefore, the importer or exporter must verify that the specific species of fish and its preparation method align with the "other" designation after the explicitly listed categories have been considered.
