0202.10.05.90 - Other 🖩

This HTS code, 0202.10.05.90, pertains to frozen meat of bovine animals, specifically carcasses and half-carcasses that are described and entered in accordance with General Note 15 of the tariff schedule. This note often relates to specific trade agreements, quotas, or special provisions that govern the importation of certain types of beef. Therefore, the classification hinges not only on the physical form of the meat but also on the specific legal and trade framework under which it is being imported.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 0202.10.05.10 (Veal), is crucial. While both fall under frozen carcasses and half-carcasses of bovine animals, this "Other" classification implicitly excludes veal. It would encompass carcasses and half-carcasses of adult cattle, as well as potentially other bovine species not specifically classified as veal, provided they meet the conditions stipulated in General Note 15. The primary differentiator is therefore the type of bovine animal and adherence to the specific import provisions outlined in the referenced general note.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level relies entirely on ensuring the frozen bovine carcasses or half-carcasses meet the requirements of General Note 15, thereby differentiating them from other specific bovine meat classifications. Importers must carefully review General Note 15 and confirm their shipment aligns with its stipulations to correctly apply this HTS code.
