Canned Lasagna Sheets in Sauce
Canned lasagna sheets in meat sauce, a ready-to-heat convenience food. The pasta is layered with a meat-based sauce and sealed in a can for shelf stability. This product qualifies as 'otherwise prepared' pasta under tariff item 1902.30.50 because it is cooked and combined with meat, going beyond the simple pasta of headings 1902.11 to 1902.30.
