Classification of chilled whole duck under HS 0207.41
HS code 020741 is used for the classification of whole ducks that are fresh or chilled. Under the Harmonized System, Chapter 2 covers meat, and heading 0207 covers poultry. Subheading 020741 is specific to ducks (Anas species). The product must be "not cut in pieces," meaning the bird is presented as a whole carcass. The "fresh or chilled" requirement means the duck has not undergone any preservation process other than cooling to maintain its fresh state. This code is used for various duck breeds, including Pekin and Muscovy, provided they are whole and chilled. If the duck is frozen, it is classified under 020742. If it is cut into pieces, it falls under 020744. Proper classification ensures compliance with food safety regulations and international trade agreements. The distinction between whole birds and cuts is a primary factor in determining the correct HS code. Additionally, the classification must distinguish between ducks and other poultry species like geese or guinea fowls. This code is essential for the accurate assessment of duties and the monitoring of poultry market trends.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
