0203.12 - Hams, shoulders and cuts thereof, with bone in:

This HTS category, 0203.12, encompasses hams, shoulders, and other cuts of swine, specifically those that retain their bone. This classification applies to fresh or chilled pork products presented in these specific forms. It is important to distinguish this category from sibling entries like 0203.11, which covers entire carcasses or half-carcasses, and 0203.19, which acts as a residual category for other fresh or chilled pork cuts not fitting elsewhere at this level.

Within 0203.12, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification. The subcategories, 0203.12.10 (Processed) and 0203.12.90 (Other), allow for a more granular identification of the goods. The "Processed" designation typically refers to hams, shoulders, or cuts that have undergone some form of treatment beyond simple butchering, such as curing, salting, or smoking, while still retaining the bone. The "Other" category captures bone-in hams, shoulders, and cuts that have not been subjected to such processing. This distinction is crucial for accurate tariff application.
