📋 Code Structure

Chapter
Chapter 02 covers meat and edible meat offal, including fresh, chilled, and frozen meat of various livestock, poultry, and game, as well as animal viscera, heads, and feet and other offal suitable for human consumption. This chapter does not include live animals (Chapter 01), animal fats (Chapter 15), or processed meat products (Chapter 16). The core characteristic is animal muscle and edible offal intended for human consumption, without deep processing.
Heading
Heading 0207 specifically covers fresh, chilled, and frozen meat and edible offal of poultry, including whole birds, cuts, and offal. The scope of poultry is limited to chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, and guinea fowl. This heading is further subdivided by species and state (fresh/chilled or frozen) and by part (whole/cuts/offal), and does not include poultry fat, feathers, bone meal, or other non-edible parts.
Digit Breakdown
The first 2 digits 02 = Chapter, indicating meat and edible meat offal. Digits 3-4, 07 = Heading, indicating fresh, chilled, and frozen meat and edible offal of poultry. Digits 5-6, 54 = Subheading, indicating frozen guinea fowl cuts and offal. The 5th digit 5 represents guinea fowl, and the 6th digit 4 represents cuts and offal (as distinct from whole birds). The complete code 020754 means frozen guinea fowl cuts and offal.
Classification Basis
This commodity is frozen guinea fowl cuts and offal, which meets heading 0207 (poultry meat and offal), is in a frozen state, is of the species guinea fowl, and consists of cuts and offal.

🎯 Classification Logic

Basis
The core basis for classification is: 1. The commodity belongs to poultry (guinea fowl); 2. The state is frozen; 3. The part is cuts and offal. If all three are satisfied simultaneously, it is classified under 020754. If fresh or chilled, it is classified under 020753; if whole bird, under 020755. Attention must be paid to distinguishing guinea fowl from ordinary chicken, turkey, and other species, as well as the boundary between cuts and whole birds.
