Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If shoulders and cuts thereof
Specific shoulder cuts like picnic hams may shift to dedicated subheadings if not fitting general hams.
If dried or dehydrated rather than cooked and canned
Dried beans with pork would be elsewhere, but dried hams fall under Chapter 7 for dried leguminous vegetables—no, preserved hams stay in 16.
If packed with pork offal instead of pure ham
Products containing pork offal mixed with ham change to offal-specific preparations.
