Classification of chilled whole goose under HS 0207.51
The classification of chilled whole goose falls under HS code 0207.51, which is part of Chapter 2 of the Harmonized System. This chapter is dedicated to meat and edible meat offal. Within this chapter, heading 0207 specifically categorizes meat and edible offal of poultry, including chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, and guinea fowls. The subheading 0207.51 is reserved for geese that are presented whole (not cut into pieces) and are in a fresh or chilled state. According to the General Interpretative Rules (GRI), classification is determined by the terms of the headings and any relative section or chapter notes. Chilled meat is defined as meat that has been cooled to a temperature generally around 0°C to 4°C without being frozen. This ensures the product remains in a state that is fresh to the touch and has not undergone the structural changes associated with freezing. The product must be the entire bird, although it is typically plucked, bled, and gutted before being traded internationally.

Codes often confused with 0207.51
Common mistake. A frequent point of confusion involves HS code 0207.52, which is specifically for whole geese that are frozen. The distinction between chilled and frozen is vital for customs valuation and health regulations. Additionally, if the goose is cut into pieces (such as breasts or legs), it must be classified under 0207.54 (fresh or chilled cuts) or 0207.55 (frozen cuts). Live geese are classified in heading 0105, and prepared or preserved goose meat (such as confit) falls under 1602.39.

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).
