About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This category, "Not in oil," within "Other prepared or preserved fish" specifically covers prepared or preserved fish products that are not packed in oil. This includes a variety of fish preparations, such as fish balls, cakes, and puddings, as long as their primary preservation medium is not oil. The key defining factor for inclusion here is the absence of oil as the immediate packing medium.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, "In immediate containers weighing with their contents not over 6.8 kg each." While both deal with prepared or preserved fish, the distinction lies in the presence or absence of oil. Goods classified under "In immediate containers weighing with their contents not over 6.8 kg each" may or may not be in oil, but this category specifically isolates those *not* in oil, regardless of container weight.

As a leaf node, this category has no further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus for classification within this code is on the nature of the prepared fish product itself (e.g., fish balls, cakes, puddings) and ensuring it is preserved in a medium other than oil. Examples would include fish cakes in brine, or fish pudding in a vacuum-sealed pouch without added oil.
