Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 021099 when importing or exporting salted, dried, or smoked meat products, excluding those from primates and marine mammals. For instance, this code applies to shipments of dried beef jerky or smoked pork products.
This code is part of the broader category of meat and edible meat offal, specifically focusing on products that are preserved through salting, drying, or smoking. It's important to distinguish it from HS-6 0210XX, which covers specific types of salted or dried meat, like hams or bacons.
When considering HS-6 021099, remember it includes a variety of preserved meats not derived from primates or certain marine animals. This sets it apart from HS-6 0210XX, which may include more specialized meat products.
If you're dealing with edible flours or meals made from meat or meat offal, this code also applies, as long as they do not originate from the excluded animal categories. This could include products like meat meal used in animal feed.
