0204.50.00.00 - Meat of goats

This HTS classification specifically covers meat derived from goats, irrespective of whether it is presented fresh, chilled, or frozen. This designation encompasses all edible portions of the goat carcass, including but not limited to muscle tissue, organs, and fat, provided they originate from goats. The key defining factor for this category is the species of origin; only meat from goats will fall under this heading.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 0204.50.00.00 is solely for goat meat. The other entries at this level, such as 0204.10.00.00, 0204.30.00.00, and the various "other meat of sheep" categories, pertain exclusively to sheep meat. It is crucial to differentiate based on the animal species to ensure correct tariff application.

As this classification for "Meat of goats" represents a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification at this level is definitive. Importers and exporters should focus on verifying the species of origin and the condition (fresh, chilled, or frozen) of the goat meat to ensure accurate reporting under this specific HTS code.
