1902.11.40.00 - Other, including pasta packaged with sauce preparations

This HTS category, 1902.11.40.00, encompasses uncooked pasta that contains eggs and is prepared as part of a combination product. Specifically, it includes pasta preparations where the pasta itself is not stuffed or otherwise elaborately prepared, but rather is presented in conjunction with sauce preparations. The key defining characteristic is the presence of eggs within the pasta composition and its packaging as a composite item with sauce.

This classification is distinct from its sibling category, 1902.11.20, which is reserved for exclusively pasta products that are uncooked, do not contain eggs, and are not stuffed or otherwise prepared. While both are uncooked pasta, the crucial differentiator here is the inclusion of eggs in the pasta and the presence of accompanying sauce preparations, making it a prepared foodstuff rather than just plain pasta.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this heading hinges on confirming the presence of eggs in the pasta and the inclusion of sauce preparations in the packaged product. Examples falling under this code would typically include dried pasta and dried sauce mix, or similar combinations, sold together as a meal kit.
