0202.30.30.00 - Other 🖩

This classification pertains to frozen, boneless meat of bovine animals that meets specific criteria outlined in additional U.S. note 3 to Chapter 2 and is entered in accordance with those provisions. The term "processed" in this context generally refers to bovine meat that has undergone treatments beyond simple freezing and deboning, such as marinating, curing, or being formed into specific shapes, but does not include fully cooked products or those specifically defined in other subheadings.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, 0202.30.10.00, which covers "high-quality beef cuts." While both are frozen, boneless bovine meat, the distinction lies in the specific "high-quality" nature and intended use of the cuts under 0202.30.10.00, which are typically sold as premium steaks or roasts. This category, conversely, encompasses a broader range of processed boneless beef that may not meet the "high-quality" definition but still requires specific entry conditions.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 0202.30.30.00 therefore hinges entirely on meeting the criteria of additional U.S. note 3 and the "processed" condition, differentiating it from other frozen boneless bovine meat not meeting these specific requirements or falling under more precisely defined categories. Importers must ensure their product aligns with the processing methods and entry provisions detailed in the relevant U.S. notes.
