1902.19.20.30 - Other

This HTS classification, 1902.19.20.30, covers "Other" uncooked pasta, not stuffed or otherwise prepared, exclusively pasta, and originating from a European Union (EU) country, where it is not subject to specific inward processing regimes or the EU reduced export refund under the US-EU Pasta agreement. This category encompasses a wide range of pasta shapes and compositions that do not fall under the more specific sibling categories. It is crucial for importers to verify that the pasta meets the general definition of uncooked pasta and is not filled or otherwise enhanced beyond its basic form.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is key. Unlike 1902.19.20.10, goods classified here are not eligible for the Inward Processing Regime (IPR). Furthermore, it differs from 1902.19.20.20 as it does not qualify for the reduced export refund stipulated by the US-EU Pasta agreement. Therefore, this classification applies to EU-origin uncooked pasta that does not meet the specific conditions for these preferential trade arrangements.

As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level requires a definitive determination that the product is exclusively uncooked pasta, from an EU country, and not subject to the aforementioned special trade provisions. Examples of products that would fall here include basic durum wheat spaghetti, fettuccine, penne, or rigatoni originating from an EU member state, provided they are imported without any fillings and are not processed beyond the uncooked stage.
