0208.60.00.00 - Of camels and other camelids (Camelidae)

This HTS category, 0208.60.00.00, specifically encompasses fresh, chilled, or frozen meat and edible offal derived from camels and other animals belonging to the Camelidae family. This includes, but is not limited to, domestic camels (dromedary and Bactrian), llamas, alpacas, and vicuñas. The classification is based on the biological origin of the meat and offal.

It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. For instance, 0208.10.00.00 covers meat of rabbits and hares, while 0208.30.00.00 is designated for primates. Similarly, 0208.40.01.00 pertains to marine mammals like whales and seals, and 0208.50.00.00 is reserved for reptiles. Category 0208.90.00.00 serves as a residual category for other meats not otherwise specified. This camelid classification therefore isolates specific animal sources from these other distinct groups.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 0208.60.00.00 is determined solely by the identification of the meat or edible offal as originating from a camel or other camelid species. The physical state of the product (fresh, chilled, or frozen) is also a critical factor for accurate classification under this heading.
