Overview

This HTS category, 1604.20.25.00, encompasses prepared or preserved fish products that are not in oil, and are packaged in immediate containers. These products are further characterized by the net weight of the immediate container, which, along with its contents, does not exceed 6.8 kilograms. Examples include fish balls, fish cakes, and fish puddings that have been prepared and preserved, but are not packed in oil.

This classification specifically excludes fish preparations that are preserved in oil. It also differs from the sibling category 1604.20.20.00, which covers prepared or preserved fish in airtight containers, regardless of whether they are in oil or not. The defining feature here is the combination of being "not in oil" and the specific weight limitation for the immediate packaging.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification at this level relies entirely on meeting the criteria of being prepared or preserved fish, not in oil, and packaged in immediate containers weighing not over 6.8 kg each with their contents. This level of detail ensures precise tariff application for a range of consumer-ready fish products.
