2003.10.01.53 - Other

This HTS subcategory, "Other," under "Mushrooms of the genus Agaricus, in containers each holding more than 255 g," encompasses prepared or preserved mushrooms of the Agaricus genus that do not fit the specific descriptions of "Whole (including buttons)" or "Sliced." This classification is reserved for mushrooms presented in forms that are neither whole, intact buttons, nor uniformly cut into slices. Examples might include mushrooms that are chopped, quartered, or in other irregular pieces, provided they meet the weight criterion of being in containers exceeding 255 grams.

The primary distinction of this "Other" category lies in its exclusion of precisely defined forms. While "Whole (including buttons)" refers to mushrooms presented in their entirety or as intact buttons, and "Sliced" covers those cut into disc-like pieces, this residual category captures all other preparations of Agaricus mushrooms that are not prepared by vinegar or acetic acid and are packaged in quantities greater than 255 grams. It serves as a catch-all for forms that are not specifically enumerated, ensuring all such prepared mushrooms are appropriately classified.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the practical application of this code relies heavily on accurately determining that the preserved Agaricus mushrooms in question are neither whole/buttons nor sliced, and that they are packaged in containers exceeding the specified weight threshold. The method of preservation, other than by vinegar or acetic acid, should also be considered within the broader scope of Chapter 20.
