0202.30.04.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS code, 0202.30.04.00, covers "Other" boneless, frozen meat of bovine animals that meets the specific requirements outlined in general note 15 of the tariff schedule and is entered under its provisions, and which has undergone processing. This category is intended for boneless, frozen beef that has been altered from its raw state through processes such as marination, injection, chopping, grinding, or other treatments that modify its texture, flavor, or intended use.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 0202.30.02.00, which specifically designates "High-quality beef cuts." While both fall under boneless, frozen bovine meat and are subject to general note 15, this "Other" processed category is for beef that does not qualify as high-quality cuts or has been processed in a manner beyond simple cutting and freezing of such cuts. The key differentiator lies in the degree and type of processing applied to the meat.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories under 0202.30.04.00. Therefore, classification decisions for goods falling under this code will rely on a careful assessment of whether the product is indeed boneless, frozen bovine meat, has undergone processing beyond basic cutting, and meets the conditions stipulated in general note 15. Examples could include marinated beef cubes for stewing, seasoned beef patties, or ground beef mixed with specific additives beyond minimal preservation.
