0201.10.05.10 - Veal 🖩

This HTS classification covers veal, specifically carcasses and half-carcasses, that meet the criteria outlined in general note 15 of the tariff schedule and are entered in accordance with its provisions. This typically includes veal derived from young bovine animals that have not yet reached maturity, characterized by lighter color and finer texture compared to adult beef. The "veal" designation at this level is a specific qualifier, indicating a particular type of fresh or chilled bovine meat.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 0201.10.05.90, is crucial. While both fall under "carcasses and half-carcasses" of fresh or chilled bovine meat, this specific subheading exclusively pertains to veal. The "Other" subheading (0201.10.05.90) would encompass carcasses and half-carcasses of bovine animals that are *not* classified as veal, meaning they are from older or more mature animals. Therefore, the age and characteristics of the animal are the primary differentiating factors between these two categories.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification is specific to veal carcasses and half-carcasses that satisfy the conditions stipulated in general note 15. Importers and customs brokers should carefully review the requirements of general note 15 to ensure accurate classification and compliance when entering goods under this subheading.
