0202.20.30.00 - Other

This classification category, HTS Code 0202.20.30.00, encompasses "Other" frozen cuts of bovine animals that include bone. These are distinct from high-quality beef cuts classified under 0202.20.10.00. While both fall under frozen bovine meat with bone, this specific category captures all remaining bone-in cuts that do not meet the specific criteria for high-quality beef as defined by additional U.S. note 3 to chapter 2. The distinction primarily hinges on the specific quality attributes and grading of the beef, as well as any other specific requirements stipulated in the additional U.S. notes.

The goods covered here are essentially the bone-in portions of frozen beef that are not specifically identified as high-quality. This could include a variety of cuts depending on the carcass breakdown and processing, but the defining characteristic for classification within this subcategory is the presence of bone and its classification as "other" when not meeting the higher-quality designation. The "processed" descriptor in the parent context implies that these cuts may have undergone some level of processing beyond simple freezing, such as trimming or portioning, but the primary classification remains based on the presence of bone and quality.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification at this level is determined by meeting the criteria for frozen bovine meat, with bone, not otherwise specified as high-quality beef, and entered pursuant to the provisions of additional U.S. note 3 to chapter 2. Importers must carefully review the specific definitions and requirements outlined in that additional U.S. note to ensure accurate classification and compliance.
