1605.10.05.10 - In airtight containers 🖩

This HTS classification covers crab meat or crab products that are prepared or preserved and packaged in airtight containers. These products are typically intended for consumption and are found within Chapter 16, which deals with preparations of meat, fish, and other aquatic invertebrates. The key characteristic for classification here is the method of preservation and packaging, specifically being sealed to prevent spoilage.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 1605.10.05.90, which covers "Other" crab preparations and preserved products not in airtight containers. Therefore, if the crab product is preserved through other means, such as refrigeration without airtight sealing, or if it's in a form other than what is specifically described as being in airtight containers, it would fall under the "Other" category.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. The classification is definitive once the product is identified as crab meat or crab preparations, preserved, and specifically packaged in airtight containers. Examples would include canned crab meat, vacuum-sealed crab portions, or crab products packaged in retort pouches that create an airtight seal.
