Last updated: July 2026 dataPrepared pasta that is neither stuffed nor classifiable under the uncooked headings — including shelf-stable, frozen, and canned formats sold ready to heat — falls here as a residual category. The three US tariff lines (1902300020 canned, 1902300040 frozen, 1902300060 other) mirror the physical form of the product, which determines cold-chain and labeling requirements. South Korea leads US imports under this heading, followed by Italy and Canada, a supplier mix that reflects both premium Italian prepared pasta and the strong Korean instant-noodle and convenience-pasta trade. FDA review applies at entry; importers should verify that net-weight declarations, ingredient lists, and any allergen statements meet US labeling standards.

190230 is a residual heading for pasta that has been further prepared — cooked, sauced, or otherwise processed — but is not stuffed. Stuffed products go to 190220 regardless of preparation state, while uncooked, unstuffed pasta without sauce belongs under 190211 or 190219 depending on egg content. The key classification question is whether the pasta is stuffed, and if not, whether it remains uncooked and unprepared.
South Korea is a major exporter of instant and convenience-style prepared noodle and pasta products — formats that are cooked or pre-gelatinized and packaged with sauce or seasoning. These products fall under the 'prepared' heading rather than the uncooked headings, explaining Korea's prominence here relative to its smaller share in dry-pasta categories.
