Overview
This HTS category, 0207.25, encompasses whole, unfrozen turkeys that have been preserved through freezing. These are complete turkey carcasses, not processed into smaller cuts or pieces. The primary characteristic is their frozen state, which distinguishes them from fresh or chilled poultry.
Unlike sibling categories such as 0207.24.00.00 (not cut in pieces, fresh or chilled) and 0207.26.00.00 (cuts and offal, fresh or chilled), this heading specifically addresses frozen, intact turkeys. It also differs from 0207.27.00, which covers frozen *cuts and offal* of turkeys, whereas this category is for the whole, uncut bird.
Within this classification, further subdivisions exist based on the value per kilogram. The subcategories 0207.25.20.00 and 0207.25.40.00 differentiate based on whether the frozen, whole turkeys are valued below or at/above 88 cents per kilogram, respectively. This value-based distinction is a key criterion for accurate tariff application.
