About HS Code 020713

This HS code encompasses fresh or chilled cuts and edible offal from fowls of the species Gallus domesticus (chickens). This category represents a substantial portion of the global poultry trade, catering to diverse consumer preferences for specific parts like breasts, thighs, wings, and various offal such as livers and hearts. The trade is characterized by its responsiveness to market demand for convenience and specific culinary applications. Importers often include countries with a strong demand for specific chicken parts or those with a developed food service industry. Exporters are typically large poultry processors capable of efficient butchering, chilling, and packaging. Due to the perishable nature of these products, rapid distribution, stringent food safety protocols, and robust cold chain management are absolutely essential.
