1902.30.00.60 - Other

This HTS subcategory, 1902.30.00.60, encompasses "Other" prepared pasta that does not fall under the specific categories of frozen pasta. It serves as a residual classification for a wide array of pasta products that have undergone preparation beyond simple drying or fresh production, but are not specifically designated as frozen for preservation. This includes, but is not limited to, shelf-stable dried pasta that is precooked, flavored, or otherwise enhanced, as well as pasta that is packaged in ready-to-heat or ready-to-eat formats but is not maintained in a frozen state.

The primary distinction of this category lies in its exclusion of frozen pasta, classified under 1902.30.00.40. Importers and exporters should carefully consider the preservation method of the pasta product. If the pasta is intended to be kept frozen throughout its supply chain, it would be classified under the sibling "Frozen" category. Conversely, any prepared pasta that is not frozen and does not fit into other narrowly defined subcategories within heading 1902 would likely find its classification here.

As this subcategory represents a terminal leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions. Classification into this "Other" category is therefore dependent on accurately ruling out all more specific classifications under heading 1902. This highlights the importance of a thorough understanding of all preceding subheadings to ensure correct tariff application.
