Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 020745 when importing or exporting frozen cuts and offal from ducks, excluding fatty livers. For example, if you're shipping frozen duck breasts or legs, this is the correct code.
This code specifically covers frozen duck meat, while HS-6 020743 applies to fresh or chilled duck cuts. If your shipment is frozen, ensure you're using 020745 to avoid classification issues.
Diving deeper, HS-6 020746 refers to duck offal, which includes parts like hearts and gizzards, but again, only if they are frozen. Make sure to distinguish between cuts and offal when classifying.
