Classification of imported squid liver/meal powder turns on compositional analysis showing soyabean meal at ~4050%, making the vegetable protein formative of the products character under the essential character test; accordingly the goods are classifiable as preparations of a kind used in animal feeding and not as fish meal, and reclassification is affirmed.
