1602.50 - Of bovine animals :

This HTS category, 1602.50, specifically covers prepared or preserved meats derived from bovine animals. This includes a wide range of products such as cooked beef, corned beef, beef extracts, canned beef, and other preparations where beef is the primary component. The key distinguishing factor is the origin of the meat; it must be from cattle.

It is important to differentiate 1602.50 from its sibling categories. Unlike 1602.10 (homogenized preparations), these bovine products may not necessarily be homogenized. Furthermore, it is distinct from 1602.20, which is exclusively for preparations of liver of any animal, and the categories covering poultry or swine. Preparations of blood or other miscellaneous meat types fall under 1602.90.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to refine classification. The subcategory 1602.50.05.00 pertains to offal from bovine animals, which includes edible parts other than the principal meat cuts. The subsequent subcategory, "Other," encompasses all remaining prepared or preserved bovine meat products that do not fall under the specific offal classification.
