1605.56.30.00 - Other

This category, HTS 1605.56.30.00, encompasses "Other" preparations of molluscs, specifically clams, cockles, and arkshells, that are prepared or preserved, but do not fall into the "in airtight containers" sibling category. It serves as a residual classification for these aquatic invertebrates when they are not packaged for long-term preservation in hermetically sealed containers. The key defining characteristic is the absence of this specific packaging method.

Unlike preparations stored in airtight containers, goods classified under this heading may be preserved through other methods such as salting, brining, drying, or simply cooked and packaged in non-airtight forms. Examples include chilled clams packed in brine, dried arkshells, or cooked cockles sold in vacuum-sealed bags that are not designed to create an airtight environment. The focus remains on preparations of clams, cockles, and arkshells, but the preservation and packaging method dictates its placement here.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within this heading is determined by the absence of airtight containment for prepared or preserved clams, cockles, and arkshells.
