Overview
This category, HTS Code 0202, encompasses frozen meat derived from bovine animals. This specifically includes beef and veal that has undergone freezing for preservation purposes. The classification is concerned solely with the meat itself, distinguishing it from live animals.
Unlike sibling categories such as those under Chapter 01, which deal with live animals (e.g., 0101 for horses, 0102 for live bovine animals), HTS 0202 is exclusively for the processed product – the meat. This ensures that live animals and their meat are classified under distinct headings, reflecting different stages of product handling and trade.
Within HTS 0202, further subdivisions exist to detail the specific forms of frozen bovine meat. Subcategory 0202.10 covers complete carcasses and half-carcasses, representing the most basic form of meat processing. Subcategory 0202.20 addresses cuts that still contain bone, offering a distinction based on bone content. Finally, 0202.30 is reserved for boneless cuts, providing a clear separation for meat that has been deboned. These subcategories facilitate precise classification based on the presentation and preparation of the frozen bovine meat.
