0201.20.04.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 0201.20.04.00, pertains to specific preparations of bovine meat that have been processed and are fresh or chilled. It falls under the broader category of "Meat of bovine animals, fresh or chilled" and specifically addresses "Other cuts with bone in." The key characteristic distinguishing this subcategory is the processing that has occurred, differentiating it from raw, unprocessed cuts.

Unlike the sibling category 0201.20.02.00, which focuses on high-quality beef cuts, this classification covers processed bovine meat that may not necessarily meet the specific quality standards or definitions associated with "high-quality beef." The term "processed" can encompass a range of treatments such as marinating, salting, or light cooking, as long as the product remains fresh or chilled. It is crucial to note that the specific provisions outlined in general note 15 of the tariff schedule must be met for goods to be classified here.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification under 0201.20.04.00 rests on meticulously verifying that the product is indeed bovine meat, fresh or chilled, is a cut with bone in, has undergone processing as defined by relevant customs rulings or general notes, and strictly adheres to the conditions stipulated in general note 15. This ensures accurate distinction from other processed or unprocessed bovine meat categories.
