Chapter 02 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 in this chapter

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.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
