Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the puree contains truffles and is presented as a pâté de foie
This item specifically covers pâtés de foie with truffles, which would take precedence over the 'other' liver preparations.
If the product is a paste made from domestic fowl (chicken) liver, not lamb
Pastes of chicken liver are classified under this item, which is a within access commitment rate for imports under a tariff-rate quota.
If the product is reclassified as a beef preparation rather than lamb liver
If the main ingredient is beef liver, it would fall under heading 1602.50 for bovine preparations, with statistical subheading for corned beef if applicable.
