0208.90.20.00 - Deer

This HTS classification, 0208.90.20.00, specifically covers deer meat and edible deer offal. This includes all parts of the deer, whether fresh, chilled, or frozen, intended for human consumption. The scope extends to meat from all species of deer, such as red deer, elk, and caribou, excluding any meat that has undergone further processing beyond chilling or freezing.

This category is distinct from its sibling categories, 0208.90.25.00 (frog's legs), 0208.90.30.00 (quail, eviscerated, not in pieces), and 0208.90.91.00 (other). Unlike frog's legs or quail, this classification pertains exclusively to cervid meat. The "other" category (0208.90.91.00) serves as a residual classification for any other meats and edible offal not specifically enumerated elsewhere within the 0208 heading.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 0208.90.20.00. Therefore, classification at this level is determined by the presence of deer meat or edible deer offal, in a fresh, chilled, or frozen state, and its exclusion from more specific descriptions within Chapter 2 of the HTS. When encountering such products, customs professionals should verify the species and condition to ensure accurate classification under this specific code.
