Detailed information for HTS Code 1902.19.20
This tariff classification falls within Chapter 19, which covers preparations of cereals, flour, starch, or milk, and specifically addresses pasta products. Code 1902.19.20 covers uncooked pasta that is not stuffed or otherwise prepared, and is simply exclusively pasta itself. This code has several subdivisions based on the country of origin—either a European Union (EU) country subject to specific trade regimes like Inward Processing or the US-EU Pasta agreement, or a non-EU country—and these determine the appropriate statistical suffix to use for reporting purposes. When reporting, select the suffix that accurately reflects the product's country of origin and any applicable trade program it falls under.
