0210.20.00.00 - Meat of bovine animals 🖩

This HTS category, 0210.20.00.00, specifically covers meat of bovine animals that has undergone preservation processes. These processes include salting, being placed in brine, drying, or smoking. The intended use is for human consumption as edible meat. This classification applies to the raw or processed meat cuts, trimmings, and other edible portions derived from cattle, buffalo, and other bovine species.

This category is distinct from its siblings, which cover preserved meat of swine (0210.10) and other preserved meats and edible meat offal, including flours and meals (0210.90). While all fall under the broader heading of preserved meats, 0210.20.00.00 is exclusively dedicated to bovine origins, distinguishing it from swine and other animal sources. Furthermore, it does not encompass the edible flours and meals of meat or meat offal, which are addressed in a separate sibling category.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within 0210.20.00.00 relies on confirming the origin of the meat (bovine) and the preservation method employed (salted, in brine, dried, or smoked) for edible purposes. Importers and exporters must ensure that the goods precisely match these criteria to avoid misclassification.
