0202.10.10.90 - Other

This HTS classification covers frozen carcasses and half-carcasses of bovine animals, specifically those that do not fall under the category of "Veal" as defined by additional U.S. note 3 to Chapter 2. The primary distinction lies in the age and maturity of the animal. Veal is derived from young bovine animals, typically less than one year old, characterized by pale meat and tender texture. This "Other" category therefore encompasses carcasses and half-carcasses of older, more mature bovine animals, often referred to as beef.

The classification relies on meeting the specific requirements of additional U.S. note 3, which dictates the criteria for a product to be considered veal. When a frozen carcass or half-carcass of bovine animal does not meet these specific veal criteria, it is routed to this residual category. This ensures that all frozen bovine carcasses and half-carcasses are appropriately classified, with a clear separation between products from young animals (veal) and those from mature animals (beef).

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification is complete at this level, with the primary distinguishing factor being the exclusion from the "Veal" designation under the specified additional U.S. note. This category captures the broader spectrum of frozen bovine carcasses and half-carcasses that do not fit the more narrowly defined veal classification.
