1902.30.00.20 - Canned

This HTS category, 1902.30.00.20, specifically covers pasta that has been prepared and preserved in cans. This includes a wide variety of pasta shapes and types that have undergone a canning process for extended shelf life and ease of preparation. The key distinguishing factor for this classification is the canning method of preservation, which differentiates it from other forms of pasta.

Unlike other "Other pasta" categories which may cover dry pasta, fresh pasta, or pasta that is simply cooked or stuffed without being canned, this designation is exclusively for pasta that has been sealed within a can. This preservation method implies a processed product, ready for consumption with minimal additional preparation beyond heating. The intent behind canning is to achieve a shelf-stable product suitable for long-term storage and distribution.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. The classification "Canned" represents the most specific level for this type of preserved pasta. Therefore, any pasta product that is presented in a can, regardless of the specific pasta shape or any accompanying sauce or ingredients (provided the primary classification remains pasta), would fall under this code.
