0207.13.00.00 - Cuts and offal, fresh or chilled

This HTS category, 0207.13.00.00, specifically covers cuts and edible offal derived from chickens that are presented in a fresh or chilled state. This includes a wide variety of chicken portions such as breasts, thighs, wings, and drumsticks, as well as internal organs like livers, gizzards, and hearts, provided they have not undergone freezing. The key determinant for classification under this heading is the temperature condition of the poultry product.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. Unlike 0207.11.00, which covers whole chickens (not cut into pieces) that are fresh or chilled, this category exclusively pertains to chicken that has been divided. Furthermore, it differs from 0207.12.00 and 0207.14.00, which encompass the same cuts and offal but are presented in a frozen condition. The distinction between fresh/chilled and frozen is a primary classification criterion within this chapter.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions for this specific code. Therefore, classification within 0207.13.00.00 hinges solely on the product being chicken cuts or offal, and being in a fresh or chilled state. Any deviation, such as being frozen or being a whole chicken, would necessitate classification under a different sibling code.
