Overview
This HTS classification pertains to uncooked pasta that is not stuffed or otherwise prepared and is exclusively composed of pasta ingredients, specifically containing eggs. These are raw pasta products, such as spaghetti, macaroni, noodles, and lasagna sheets, that are intended for subsequent cooking and do not contain any fillings or additional prepared components. The defining characteristic of this category is the absence of any stuffing (like meat or cheese) and that the product is made solely from typical pasta ingredients, with the inclusion of eggs being a key determining factor.
The crucial distinction of this subcategory lies in its origin. While the parent category covers all uncooked, egg-containing pasta not otherwise prepared, this specific classification *excludes* products that originate from a European Union (EU) member country. Therefore, if an importer is classifying uncooked, egg-containing pasta that is not stuffed or prepared, and it comes from a country outside of the EU, this 1902.11.20.90 code would be applicable.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. This means that once a product meets all the preceding criteria – being uncooked, not stuffed or prepared, containing eggs, exclusively pasta, and originating from a non-EU country – it is definitively classified under this code. Practical classification will focus on verifying the uncooked state, the presence of eggs, the absence of fillings, and the country of origin to ensure accurate import declarations.
