1605.40.10 - Other

This HTS code, 1605.40.10, encompasses "Other" preparations of crustaceans, specifically those that do not fall under the category of products containing fish meat or prepared meals. This classification serves as a residual category for prepared or preserved crustaceans that are not otherwise specified within the broader headings of Chapter 16. It is designed to capture a variety of presentations and preparations of crustaceans that do not fit into more specific subheadings.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 1605.40.05.00, is crucial. While 1605.40.05.00 is designated for products that *contain* fish meat or constitute prepared meals with a fish component, 1605.40.10 focuses solely on the preparations of crustaceans themselves, without the inclusion of fish meat as a primary or defining component. The key differentiator lies in the presence and prominence of fish within the product.

Within this "Other" category, further distinctions are made through subcategories. The code 1605.40.10.10 specifically addresses peeled freshwater crawfish tail meat, indicating a particular form and species of crustacean. The remaining preparations of crustaceans that do not fit this specific tail meat description are then classified under 1605.40.10.90, representing a broader, residual grouping for all other "Other" crustacean preparations.
