0201.20.50 - Other

This HTS category, 0201.20.50, pertains to other cuts of fresh or chilled bovine animal meat that contain bone. It specifically encompasses those preparations that do not fall under more narrowly defined subheadings within the "Other cuts with bone in" classification, provided they meet the criteria outlined in additional U.S. note 3 to Chapter 2. This classification serves as a residual category for bone-in bovine cuts that are fresh or chilled and have not undergone specific processing or preparation.

To distinguish this category from its sibling, "Processed," it is crucial to understand that 0201.20.50 exclusively covers raw, unprocessed meat. Any form of processing, such as marinating, curing, smoking, or cooking, would necessitate classification under a different, typically more refined, HTS subheading. The focus here remains on the inherent state of the meat as freshly acquired or chilled, with bone intact.

Within this broad "Other" category, further subdivisions exist to provide more granular classification. One such subdivision is for "Fresh or chilled bone in veal cuts," indicating that younger bovine animals (veal) have their own specific classification. The presence of a further "Other" subcategory suggests that additional, more specific distinctions may apply, necessitating careful examination of the product's exact nature and presentation to ensure correct classification within the HTS system.
