Sardines in Olive Oil from Japan

Sardines packed in olive oil in airtight containers are a classic prepared fish product, whole or in pieces, not minced. They are classified under this tariff item as 'other' fish, as the specific subheading for sardines (1604.13) is not applicable when the product is not of the species Sardina pilchardus. The olive oil packing preserves the fish and imparts flavour.
