Chapter 02: Meat and edible meat offal
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 020744 when importing or exporting fresh or chilled duck meat cuts and offal, excluding fatty livers. For example, if you're shipping duck breast fillets or duck legs, this code is applicable.
This code specifically covers duck meat, distinguishing it from HS-6 020742, which pertains to whole ducks or duck carcasses. If you're dealing with whole birds, you should refer to that code instead.
The classification also excludes fatty livers, which are classified separately under HS-6 020743. If your shipment includes duck liver, ensure you use the correct code to avoid compliance issues.
Understanding these distinctions is crucial for accurate tariff classification and avoiding potential customs delays. Make sure to check the packaging and product descriptions to align with the correct HS code.
