0207.11.00.40 - Other 🖩

This HTS subheading, 0207.11.00.40, covers "Other" poultry meat falling under heading 0105, specifically chickens, that are not cut into pieces and are presented as fresh or chilled. This category is intended for whole birds that do not fit into more specific classifications within this level of the tariff. It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, 0207.11.00.20, which specifically designates young chickens such as broilers, fryers, roasters, and capons. Therefore, 0207.11.00.40 would encompass whole, fresh or chilled chickens that are not of the "young" classification, such as mature hens or roosters not meeting the specific criteria for young birds.

As this subheading is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, it does not have further subcategories. The classification is determined by the physical state (fresh or chilled), the form (not cut in pieces), and the type of poultry (chicken) alongside the exclusion of "young" birds. Importers and exporters should carefully examine the age and condition of the chickens to ensure accurate classification. The key determinant for this specific code is that the whole, fresh or chilled chickens are not young birds and are not further processed or cut.
