0202.10.10.10 - Veal

This HTS classification, 0202.10.10.10, specifically covers frozen veal carcasses and half-carcasses that meet the criteria outlined in additional U.S. note 3 to Chapter 2 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. This note often relates to specific import programs, quotas, or trade agreements that grant preferential treatment or require particular documentation for entry. Therefore, the defining characteristic of this subclassification is not just the physical form of the veal (carcass or half-carcass, frozen), but also its compliance with the enumerated provisions of U.S. note 3.

Within the broader category of frozen veal carcasses and half-carcasses (0202.10), this subheading distinguishes itself from its sibling, 0202.10.10.90, by the specific requirement to be entered "pursuant to its provisions" under additional U.S. note 3. While the sibling category encompasses all other frozen veal carcasses and half-carcasses not meeting those specific note 3 criteria, this subheading is reserved exclusively for those that do. This distinction is critical for accurate duty assessment and compliance with U.S. import regulations.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level is definitive for goods meeting all preceding criteria, including being frozen veal in carcass or half-carcass form and conforming to the specific conditions stipulated by additional U.S. note 3. Importers must ensure that their shipments of frozen veal carcasses and half-carcasses satisfy all the requirements of this note to be correctly classified under this subheading.
