Chapter 02: Meat and edible meat offal
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 021092 when importing or exporting salted, dried, or smoked meat from marine mammals such as whales or seals. For example, if you're shipping dried whale meat for culinary use, this is the correct code.
This HS-6 line specifically covers meat and edible offal from marine mammals, including porpoises and manatees. It differs from HS-6 021091, which pertains to similar products from other animals, like land mammals.
When dealing with marine mammal products, it's crucial to ensure compliance with international regulations, as these species are often subject to strict trade restrictions. This code helps clarify the specific type of meat being classified.
If you're unsure whether your product fits this category, consider the preparation method and the species. For instance, salted seal meat would fall under this code, while smoked beef would not.
