Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 190220 when importing or exporting stuffed pasta products, such as ravioli or cannelloni, whether they are cooked or uncooked. For example, if you're shipping frozen spinach and cheese ravioli, this code is applicable.

This code specifically covers food preparations that are pasta-based and stuffed with various fillings. In contrast, if you're dealing with plain pasta like spaghetti or macaroni without any stuffing, you would use HS-6 190211 instead.

The 190220 code is ideal for products that are ready to heat and serve or require minimal preparation. Items like pre-cooked lasagna sheets or filled gnocchi also fall under this classification, distinguishing them from unstuffed pasta products.

When considering shipments, note that the classification can depend on the preparation method. For instance, stuffed pasta that is dried would still be classified under this code, while fresh, unpackaged varieties may have different requirements.
