Notes
1. This chapter does not cover meat, meat offal, fish, crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates, as well as insects, prepared or preserved by the processes specified in Chapter 2 or 3, Note 6 to Chapter 4 or in heading 0504.
2. Food preparations fall in this chapter provided that they contain more than 20 % by weight of sausage, meat, meat offal, blood, insects, fish or crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates, or any combination thereof. In cases where the preparation contains two or more of the products mentioned above, it is classified in the heading of Chapter 16 corresponding to the component or components which predominate by weight. These provisions do not apply to the stuffed products of heading 1902 or to the preparations of heading 2103 or 2104.
For preparations containing liver, the provisions of the second sentence shall not apply in determining the subheadings within heading 1601 or 1602.
The European Commission's explanatory notes on how to classify goods in these CN codes. They are not legally binding but customs authorities follow them; they complement the HS Explanatory Notes of the World Customs Organization.
1601 00 · Sausages and similar products, of meat, meat offal or blood; food preparations based on these products
The fact that products may be considered to be ‘sausages and similar products’ for trade purposes is not a determining factor for the purposes of classification in this heading.
Chopped or comminuted meat preparations which have become moulded into shape as a result of being packed in cans or other rigid containers, whether or not cylindrical, are not regarded as ‘sausages’ for the purposes of this heading.
1601 00 10 · Of liver
This subheading includes sausages and similar products containing liver, with or without the addition of meat, meat offal, fat, etc., provided that the liver gives the products their essential character. These products, generally cooked and sometimes smoked, are recognisable essentially by the characteristic taste of liver.
General notes to the chapter
PREPARATIONS OF MEAT, OF FISH OR OF CRUSTACEANS, MOLLUSCS OR OTHER AQUATIC INVERTEBRATES
General
For the classification of composite food preparations (including so-called ‘prepared meals’) consisting of, for example, sausage, meat, meat offal, fish or crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates or any combination thereof, together with vegetables, spaghetti, sauce, etc., see note 2 to this chapter and the HS General Explanatory Note to this chapter, penultimate paragraph.
The second sentence of the first paragraph of note 2 (classification in the heading corresponding to the component which predominates by weight) also applies to the determination of the subheadings. The foregoing does not apply, however, to preparations containing liver, of headings 1601 00 and 1602 (see paragraph 2 of the note).
Additional note 2
As a general rule, the cut from which a part is obtained is identifiable only where the part measures approximately 100 × 80 × 2 mm or more.
The expression ‘parts thereof’ applies solely to parts when the cut from which they were obtained (for example, hams) can be determined by positive means, rather than by a process of elimination.
