Kipper Snacks in Oil from Mexico
Kipper snacks are boned herring fillets that have been lightly smoked and preserved in cottonseed oil, sealed in small airtight tins. They are classified under this tariff item as prepared fish, whole or in pieces, not minced, and not elsewhere specified. The light smoking process does not remove them from this heading, as they are not dried, salted, or otherwise prepared in a way that would place them in Chapter 3.
