Overview

This HTS classification, 1605.56.60.00, encompasses "Other" prepared or preserved molluscs, specifically those belonging to the categories of clams, cockles, and arkshells that do not fit into more specific subheadings. This category serves as a residual classification for molluscs within the broader heading for prepared or preserved molluscs.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, "Clams" (1605.56.00.00), is crucial for accurate classification. While the sibling specifically pertains to clams, this "Other" category includes other types of bivalve molluscs such as cockles and arkshells, as well as any clams that are prepared or preserved in a manner not already accounted for under more granular classifications. The key distinction lies in the specific species of mollusc and how it is processed or preserved.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 1605.56.60.00. Therefore, the focus for classification under this heading is on ensuring the product is indeed a prepared or preserved mollusc falling within the broader group of clams, cockles, and arkshells, and that it has not been specifically classified elsewhere within the molluscs chapter. Examples could include certain prepared arkshells or specific preparations of cockles that are not separately enumerated.
