0201.30.80 - Other

This HTS classification, 0201.30.80, encompasses "Other" boneless meat of bovine animals, fresh or chilled, that does not fall under more specific subheadings within this chapter. It serves as a residual category for boneless beef and veal that meets the general requirements of chapter 2 but is not otherwise explicitly defined or enumerated in preceding classifications. This category is crucial for ensuring that all qualifying boneless bovine meat enters into the customs process, even if it doesn't fit neatly into pre-defined types or origins.

To properly classify goods under 0201.30.80, it is important to differentiate it from its sibling categories. The sibling categories, which also fall under "Boneless: Meat of bovine animals, fresh or chilled," are specifically defined by adherence to particular general notes or additional U.S. notes of the tariff schedule. If the imported boneless bovine meat is entered pursuant to the provisions of general note 15 or additional U.S. note 3 to this chapter, it would be classified under those more specific sibling headings, not under this "Other" residual category. Therefore, 0201.30.80 is utilized when the meat does not qualify for those specialized entry provisions.

This "Other" category, 0201.30.80, further breaks down into more specific subcategories to facilitate detailed tracking and statistical reporting. The primary subdivisions are "Bison" (0201.30.80.10) and "Other" (0201.30.80.90). The "Bison" subheading is designed to separately identify meat from this specific bovine species. The remaining "Other" subheading (0201.30.80.90) then captures all other boneless bovine meat, fresh or chilled, that meets the conditions of 0201.30.80 but is neither bison nor covered by the specific entry provisions of the sibling categories. This granular breakdown allows for precise customs administration and data analysis.
