1905.90.90.30 - Corn chips and similar crisp savory snack foods

This HTS classification, 1905.90.90.30, specifically covers corn chips and similar crisp savory snack foods. These products are characterized by their puffed, extruded, or fried composition, typically made from corn masa or other cereal flours, and are intended for direct consumption as snacks. The emphasis is on the "crisp" and "savory" nature, distinguishing them from other baked goods.

Within the broader category of "Other" bakers' wares, this classification stands apart from siblings such as pizza and quiche (1905.90.90.60), which are defined by their distinct pastry bases and typically savory toppings, and "Other" (1905.90.90.90), which serves as a residual category for items not elsewhere specified. The focus on corn-based or similar cereal-based, crisp, savory snacks is the key differentiator here.

As this classification represents a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the practical application of this code relies heavily on the specific characteristics of the imported goods. Classification hinges on whether the product aligns with the defining attributes of corn chips and similar crisp, savory snack items, considering their primary ingredients, manufacturing process (e.g., extrusion, frying, baking), texture, and intended use as a standalone savory snack.
