0210.93.00.00 - Of reptiles (including snakes and turtles)

This category, HTS Code 0210.93.00.00, specifically covers meat and edible offal from reptiles that have been salted, in brine, dried, or smoked. This includes a wide variety of reptilian species commonly consumed as food in various cultures, such as snakes and turtles. The classification emphasizes the preservation method applied to the reptilian product, distinguishing it from fresh or chilled reptilian meats.

In relation to its sibling categories, this HTS code differentiates itself by focusing exclusively on reptilian sources. Unlike 0210.91.00.00, which pertains to primate meat products, or 0210.92.01.00, which addresses aquatic mammals and pinnipeds, this code is strictly for reptiles. The "Other" category (0210.99) would encompass any other meat or edible offal preserved in these ways not specifically enumerated under the preceding subheadings.

As a leaf node, HTS Code 0210.93.00.00 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within this code relies on confirming that the product is indeed edible meat or offal from a reptile and that it has undergone salting, brining, drying, or smoking. Practical considerations for classification may include verifying the species of origin and the processing methods employed.
