HS Code for Chilled chicken offal

Chilled chicken offal is classified under HS code 0207.13. This classification falls within Chapter 2 of the Harmonized System, which covers meat and edible meat offal. Heading 0207 is dedicated to the meat and edible offal of poultry (fowls of the species Gallus domesticus, ducks, geese, turkeys, and guinea fowls). Subheading 0207.13 specifically covers the cuts and offal of fowls of the species Gallus domesticus (chicken) that are fresh or chilled. Edible offal includes organs and other parts of the bird that are not the primary skeletal muscle meat, such as the heart, liver, and gizzard. To be classified under this code, the product must be intended for human consumption and must be maintained at a chilled temperature (above freezing) to preserve freshness during transit.

Products Included

• Fresh chicken livers
• Chilled chicken hearts
• Fresh chicken gizzards
• Chilled chicken necks and feet (edible)
• Fresh chicken wings or thighs (when classified as cuts)

Common Misclassification

The most frequent misclassification occurs between fresh/chilled offal and frozen offal. Frozen chicken offal is classified under HS code 0207.14. Another common error involves the species; offal from turkeys (0207.26 for fresh) or ducks (0207.44 for fresh) must be classified under their respective subheadings. Additionally, if the offal is not fit for human consumption (e.g., intended for pet food or industrial use), it may be classified under heading 0504 or 0511 depending on the specific nature and processing. Finally, whole fresh chickens are classified under 0207.11, not 0207.13.
