0207.24.00.00 - Not cut in pieces, fresh or chilled

This HTS classification, 0207.24.00.00, specifically covers whole turkeys, fresh or chilled, that have not been cut into pieces. This designation is crucial for accurate import and export declarations, ensuring that the precise form and condition of the poultry are correctly identified for customs purposes. The key distinction here is the state of the turkey – it must be whole and maintained at a fresh or chilled temperature.

It is important to differentiate this category from its siblings. While 0207.25.00.00 also covers whole turkeys not cut in pieces, it is specifically for those that are frozen. Conversely, categories 0207.26.00.00 and 0207.27.00.00 deal with cut pieces and offal of turkeys, whether fresh, chilled, or frozen. Therefore, 0207.24.00.00 exclusively applies to the entirety of the turkey, in its fresh or chilled state, before any processing into parts.

As a leaf node within the HTS, 0207.24.00.00 does not have further subcategories. Classification within this code relies solely on the integrity of the product (whole turkey) and its preservation method (fresh or chilled). Importers and exporters should verify that the goods meet these exact criteria to ensure correct tariff application and compliance with trade regulations.
