1605.10.20.59 - Other

This HTS code, 1605.10.20.59, encompasses prepared or preserved crabmeat that is packaged in airtight containers and is not specifically classified under the preceding sibling category. The defining characteristic here is that it pertains to crabmeat derived from species *other than* Callinectes spp., which includes the commonly known blue crab. Therefore, this classification applies to various swimming crab species from the Portunidae family that do not fall within the scope of 1605.10.20.51.

The primary distinction from its sibling lies in the specific genus and species of crab used. While 1605.10.20.51 is dedicated to crabmeat from Callinectes species, 1605.10.20.59 is for all other swimming crab species that meet the general criteria of being prepared or preserved in airtight containers. This ensures a precise classification based on the biological origin of the crabmeat, facilitating accurate trade data and duty assessment.

As this HTS code represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The "Other" designation at this level signifies that the classification has reached its most specific point for this particular type of prepared crabmeat. Importers and exporters should therefore confirm that the crabmeat is from a swimming crab species other than Callinectes and is indeed preserved in airtight containers to correctly apply this code.
