Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 020727 when importing or exporting frozen cuts and offal from turkeys. For example, if you're shipping frozen turkey breast or thigh portions, this code is applicable.

This code specifically covers frozen turkey meat, distinguishing it from HS-6 020726, which includes fresh or chilled turkey cuts. If your product is frozen, you must use 020727.

The 0207 heading narrows the classification to poultry meat, while 020727 focuses on turkey cuts, including various parts like wings, legs, and offal. Ensure you know the specific form of your product.

When dealing with turkey imports, consider whether your products are whole turkeys, fresh, or frozen cuts, as this will determine the correct HS code.
