0201.30.02.00 - High-quality beef cuts

This HTS classification, 0201.30.02.00, specifically covers boneless, fresh, or chilled beef cuts that are considered "high-quality" and are entered into customs in accordance with the provisions outlined in General Note 15 of the tariff schedule. This note typically defines specific quality standards, grading systems, or intended uses that qualify beef for this particular subheading, often distinguishing it from standard or utility grades. The focus here is on premium cuts that meet stringent criteria related to marbling, tenderness, color, and maturity.

This subheading is differentiated from its sibling, 0201.30.04.00, which encompasses "other" boneless, fresh, or chilled beef cuts. The key distinction lies in the explicit requirement for "high-quality" as defined by General Note 15. While both subheadings deal with boneless beef, 0201.30.02.00 applies only to those cuts that satisfy advanced quality benchmarks, whereas the "other" category would include all remaining boneless beef that does not meet these specific high-quality stipulations.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification into 0201.30.02.00 relies entirely on meeting the defined quality parameters of General Note 15 for fresh or chilled, boneless beef cuts. Importers must be prepared to provide documentation or evidence that the beef products meet these specified quality standards to ensure accurate classification and compliance.
