1605.30.05.90 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 1605.30.05.90, covers "Other" preparations of crustaceans, molluscs, or other aquatic invertebrates that do not fall under the more specific subheadings within the lobster category. This generally includes products that are prepared or preserved and contain fish meat, or are presented as prepared meals, but do not fit the criteria of being packed in airtight containers. Examples might include items like lobster meat mixed with other ingredients and sauces, or pre-portioned lobster meals that are not sealed to prevent air entry.

The key distinction for this "Other" category lies in its exclusion of products classified under 1605.30.05.10, which specifically denotes lobster products that are packed in airtight containers, such as cans or vacuum-sealed pouches, designed for extended preservation. Therefore, if a prepared lobster product is not in an airtight container, it would likely be classified here, provided it meets the broader criteria of containing fish meat or being a prepared meal.

As this node is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions. The classification relies on identifying that the product is a prepared or preserved lobster, contains fish meat or is a prepared meal, and importantly, is not packed in airtight containers, thus differentiating it from its direct sibling.
