0210.99 - Other:

This category, HTS 0210.99, encompasses "Other" meats and edible meat offal that have been salted, in brine, dried, or smoked, as well as edible flours and meals derived from meat or meat offal. This broad classification serves as a residual category for processed meats and offal not specifically delineated under other subheadings within heading 0210. The crucial defining characteristic is the method of preservation: salting, brining, drying, or smoking.

This subheading distinguishes itself from its siblings by excluding specific animal groups. Unlike 0210.91 which is reserved for primate meat, 0210.92 for marine mammals, and 0210.93 for reptiles, this category is applicable to processed meat and offal from a wider range of animal species, provided they meet the preservation criteria. Therefore, if the processed meat or offal is not from the aforementioned excluded groups, it falls into this residual "Other" category.

Further refinement within this subheading is provided by its subcategories. 0210.99.20.00 specifically addresses processed meat and edible offal derived from poultry of heading 0105, offering a dedicated classification for these common food products. The remaining processed meats and edible offal, not falling under the poultry specific subheading, are classified under 0210.99.91.00, ensuring a comprehensive classification structure for all remaining eligible products within this "Other" category.
