Overview

This HTS classification, 1605.53.60.00, encompasses "Other" preparations of molluscs, specifically mussels, that do not fall under any more specific subheadings within the mussels category. It serves as a residual classification for prepared or preserved mussels. This category applies to any mussel-based products that are not specifically designated as containing fish meat or as being part of a prepared meal, as found in sibling category 1605.53.05.00.

The goods classified here are typically mussels that have undergone preparation or preservation processes beyond simple cooking, such as canning, freezing, drying, or marinating, and are not sold as part of a composite meal or combined with fish meat. The classification hinges on the primary constituent being mussels and the absence of other specific inclusions or product formats outlined in more granular subheadings. As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to explore under this specific code.
