Classification notes
Meat imports are dominated by veterinary-health certification (origin slaughterhouse approval), cold-chain documentation, and BSE/foot-and-mouth disease zoning rules. Most destinations require veterinary-import permits issued by the national veterinary authority before shipment.
Frequent misclassification
Cooked / processed / canned meats fall under Chapter 16 (preparations of meat); raw frozen meat stays in Chapter 02. Edible offal (heart, liver, kidneys) under 0206 is sometimes mis-declared as muscle meat.
