Dried Smoked Cuttlefish Strips from Japan
Dried smoked cuttlefish strips are thin strips of cuttlefish that have been smoked and air-dried into jerky-like snacks popular in Asia. This product is classified under tariff item 1605.54.00 as a prepared or preserved mollusc, because the smoking and drying processes are preservation methods that make the product shelf-stable and ready to eat. The product is distinct from fresh or simply frozen cuttlefish, as it has undergone significant preparation.
