1902.19 - Other:

HTS code 1902.19 encompasses uncooked pasta that is neither stuffed nor otherwise prepared. This category is specifically for pasta that does not contain eggs as a primary ingredient, distinguishing it from the sibling category 1902.11, which explicitly covers uncooked pasta containing eggs. Therefore, the key distinguishing factor for classification under 1902.19 is the absence of eggs in the pasta dough.

This classification is intended for basic, uncooked pasta forms such as spaghetti, macaroni, noodles, lasagna sheets, and similar items, provided they are not filled with meat or other substances, nor have undergone any significant preparation beyond drying. The focus is on the fundamental composition and state of the pasta prior to cooking or further processing.

Within 1902.19, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification based on the specific presentation of the product. The subcategory 1902.19.20 is reserved for products consisting exclusively of pasta. In contrast, 1902.19.40.00 covers "Other" instances, which notably include pasta that is packaged alongside sauce preparations, indicating a bundled product where the primary component remains uncooked pasta.
