0204.43 - Boneless:

This HTS classification, 0204.43, encompasses boneless meat derived from sheep or goats that is in a frozen state. This category specifically addresses cuts of meat that have been entirely deboned, distinguishing them from products where bone is still present. The defining characteristic here is the absence of bone in the frozen sheep or goat meat.

It is important to differentiate 0204.43 from its siblings. Unlike 0204.41.00.00, which covers entire carcasses or half-carcasses, this category deals with more specifically prepared cuts. Furthermore, it is distinct from 0204.42, which specifically classifies other cuts of frozen sheep meat that still have bone in them. Therefore, 0204.43 is exclusively for deboned, frozen sheep or goat meat.

Within this boneless, frozen category, further subdivisions exist to refine classification based on the type of animal. The subcategories 0204.43.20.00 and 0204.43.40.00 differentiate between lamb and other types of sheep or goat meat, respectively. This allows for more precise tracking and statistical reporting of specific imported or exported frozen, boneless ovine or caprine products.
