1605.54.60.20 - Loligo

This HTS classification, 1605.54.60.20, specifically designates "Loligo" squid, prepared or preserved. This category encompasses various preparations of squid belonging to the *Loligo* genus. These preparations can include, but are not limited to, canned, frozen, or dried squid, typically intended for human consumption. The key defining characteristic for inclusion under this heading is the botanical and taxonomic identification of the squid as belonging to the *Loligo* genus.

This particular classification differentiates itself from its sibling category, 1605.54.60.30 ("Other"), which covers prepared or preserved molluscs, specifically cuttlefish and squid, that do not fall under the *Loligo* genus. Therefore, precise identification of the squid species is crucial for accurate classification, ensuring that only *Loligo* varieties are assigned to this code.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is definitive for prepared or preserved *Loligo* squid. Importers and exporters should confirm that the product's origin and presentation align with the specifications of *Loligo* species to ensure correct declaration.
