Overview
Category 0204 specifically classifies meat derived from sheep and goats, encompassing products that are fresh, chilled, or frozen. This broad classification covers a range of cuts and preparations, excluding live animals and products derived from other species.
Unlike its sibling categories in Chapter 01, which deal with live animals, 0204 focuses solely on the processed meat of sheep and goats. For instance, while 0104 covers live sheep and goats, 0204 pertains to the edible flesh of these animals once they have been processed. This distinction is crucial for accurate customs declarations and tariff application.
Within 0204, further subdivisions detail the specific presentation and origin of the meat. Subheadings differentiate between the carcasses and half-carcasses of lamb (fresh, chilled, or frozen) and other cuts of sheep meat. The classification also specifically addresses meat from goats. These subcategories allow for more granular tariff application based on the form and species of the sheep or goat meat.
