Overview
This HTS classification, 1902.19.20.90, specifically identifies uncooked pasta that is not stuffed or otherwise prepared, and originates from a country outside of the European Union. This category encompasses a wide range of pasta types such as spaghetti, macaroni, noodles, lasagna, gnocchi, ravioli, cannelloni, and couscous, provided they meet the criteria of being uncooked, lacking fillings or further preparation beyond basic drying, and are not products of EU member states.
The key differentiator for this subcategory lies in its origin. It is distinct from its sibling category, which would cover identical uncooked and unprepared pasta products that are manufactured within an EU country. Therefore, when classifying such pasta, both its physical form (uncooked, unfilled, and unprepared) and its country of origin must be considered to ensure accurate placement within the HTS.
As this classification represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 1902.19.20.90. Classification concludes at this level, meaning that any product meeting the definition of uncooked, unfilled, and unprepared pasta, and originating from a non-EU country, will be classified here. For practical purposes, this designation highlights the importance of origin documentation in customs declarations for pasta products.
