0207.43.00.00 - Fatty livers, fresh or chilled

This HTS category, 0207.43.00.00, specifically covers fatty livers derived from ducks. These products are classified as fresh or chilled, meaning they have not undergone freezing. Fatty livers, often referred to as foie gras, are typically processed from ducks that have been specially fattened. The classification hinges on both the species of poultry (duck) and its preparation state (fresh or chilled).

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 0207.43.00.00 is distinct from 0207.41.00.00 and 0207.42.00.00, which pertain to ducks not cut into pieces, and also from 0207.44.00.00 and 0207.45.00, which are designated for "other" duck products, potentially including other edible offal or different preparations. The key differentiating factor for 0207.43.00.00 is its focus on the specific product of "fatty livers" in their fresh or chilled form, regardless of whether they are whole or cut.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories that subdivide fatty livers of ducks. Therefore, the classification is definitive at this level, encompassing all fresh or chilled fatty livers of ducks, irrespective of their specific form (e.g., whole, diced, processed into terrines, provided they remain fresh or chilled and are derived from ducks). Importers and exporters should ensure that the product's origin, condition (fresh/chilled), and product type (fatty liver) align precisely with the description to ensure accurate classification.
