0207.53.00.00 - Fatty livers, fresh or chilled 🖩

HTS code 0207.53.00.00 specifically classifies fatty livers originating from geese, which are presented in a fresh or chilled state. This category is distinct from other subheadings under 0207.5 for geese based on the state of the product and whether it has been processed beyond its natural form. For instance, it is differentiated from 0207.51.00.00 and 0207.52.00.00 by the fact that the livers are not the primary focus of those descriptions, which cover whole or cut pieces of geese.

This particular classification is reserved for goose livers that are intended for consumption and have undergone no further preservation methods beyond chilling. This means that products preserved through freezing, salting, drying, or any other preservation technique would fall under different HTS codes. The emphasis is on the raw, fresh, or chilled nature of the fatty liver itself, as opposed to processed goose meat products.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to explore under 0207.53.00.00. Therefore, the classification hinges entirely on the identity of the animal (goose), the specific product (fatty liver), and its physical condition (fresh or chilled). Importers and exporters should ensure that the goods accurately meet these criteria to avoid misclassification.
