0201.30.06.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 0201.30.06.00, specifically covers boneless meat of bovine animals, fresh or chilled, that meets the criteria outlined in General Note 15 of the tariff schedule and is entered according to its provisions. General Note 15 typically pertains to specific import programs or special trade agreements that may allow for preferential tariff treatment or specific entry requirements for certain goods. Therefore, this classification is not for all boneless, fresh, or chilled beef but only for that which qualifies under the detailed stipulations of this particular General Note.

It is crucial to distinguish this classification from its sibling category, "Processed." While both fall under the umbrella of bovine meat, this specific subcategory is for meat that remains in its fresh or chilled state. The "Processed" category would encompass bovine meat that has undergone treatments such as cooking, salting, drying, or other methods that alter its fundamental state from fresh or chilled. The defining factor here is the absence of significant processing beyond trimming and boning.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. The classification is definitive once the criteria of General Note 15 are met for boneless, fresh, or chilled bovine meat. Therefore, importers must ensure they have documented proof of compliance with General Note 15 to correctly utilize this classification. Misclassification could lead to incorrect duty assessments and potential penalties.
