  A product composed of (% by weight):      — raw fish (in pieces) of the genus Mullus     64      — raw shrimps    10      — raw vegetables    26        presented on a wooden stick.  ,1604 19 98,  Classification is determined by General Rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 2 to Chapter 16 and the wording of CN codes 1604, 1604 19 and 1604 19 98.    The addition of the vegetables to the (raw) fishmeat/shrimps presented on a wooden stick is considered to be a preparation. Consequently, classification in Chapter 3 is to be excluded as the product has been prepared by a process not provided for in that Chapter (see Harmonised System Explanatory Notes to Chapter 3, General, fifth paragraph).    The product is therefore to be classified under heading 1604 as prepared fish of CN code 1604 19 98.  ,
