0203.29.40.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 0203.29.40.00, covers "Other" frozen meats of swine. This designation applies to any frozen swine meat that does not fit into the more specific classifications within the 0203.29 grouping. It is the residual category for frozen swine products that haven't been further processed or specially prepared.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 0203.29.20.00 ("Processed"), is crucial. The "Processed" category typically encompasses swine meats that have undergone transformations beyond simple freezing, such as curing, smoking, salting, or being made into sausages or other prepared items. This "Other" category, therefore, is reserved for plain frozen cuts, primal cuts, or bone-in/boneless pieces of swine that remain in their natural state, prior to any significant processing.

As this node is a leaf category within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification into this heading relies on confirming that the product is indeed frozen swine meat and that it does not meet the criteria for any more specific subheadings within Chapter 2, particularly the "Processed" category. Examples would include whole frozen pork legs, frozen pork loins, or frozen pork shoulders that have not been cured, seasoned, or further altered.
