1604.20.50 - Other

This HTS classification, 1604.20.50, specifically covers "Other" prepared or preserved fish that are further processed into fish sticks and similar products. These products are characterized by being breaded, coated with batter, or otherwise prepared in a manner that creates an outer covering. The definition applies regardless of the size or shape of these fish preparations, indicating a broad inclusion for products adhering to this preparation method.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 1604.20.40.00 (Neither cooked nor in oil), it is crucial to note that 1604.20.50 applies only to products that have undergone a breading, battering, or similar coating process. Products that are simply cooked or preserved in oil, without such an exterior preparation, would fall under the sibling category.

Within this classification, two subcategories exist to further refine the classification: 1604.20.50.10, which covers pre-cooked and frozen products, and 1604.20.50.90, which encompasses all other products that meet the criteria of being breaded, battered, or similarly prepared fish sticks but are not pre-cooked and frozen. This subdivision allows for more granular tracking based on the final state of preservation.
