Product classification
HS code for Fresh guinea fowl: 0207.60
Meat and edible offal, of guinea fowls, fresh, chilled or frozen.
Classification of fresh guinea fowl under HS 0207.60
The classification of fresh guinea fowl is governed by the Harmonized System under code 0207.60. This code is situated within Chapter 2, which encompasses meat and edible meat offal. Heading 0207 is specifically reserved for the meat and edible offal of poultry, including chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, and guinea fowls. The determination of this code relies on the biological classification of the bird and the physical state of the product. Since the product is specified as fresh or chilled, it meets the criteria for the primary subheadings of 0207. Guinea fowl (Numida meleagris) is a distinct category within the poultry trade, and the HS system provides this specific subheading to track its international trade volume separately from more common poultry like chickens or turkeys. The classification remains consistent regardless of whether the bird is presented as a whole carcass or in specific cuts such as breasts or thighs, provided it has not been frozen, salted, dried, or smoked, which would shift the classification to different subheadings or chapters. Proper documentation must reflect the fresh state to ensure the application of correct tariff rates and sanitary regulations.

Codes often confused with 0207.60
Common mistake. Fresh guinea fowl is frequently misclassified under HS code 0207.11 or 0207.13, which are reserved for meat of the species Gallus domesticus (chickens). While they are both poultry, the HS system requires specific identification of the species. Another common error is using HS code 0208.90, which covers "other" meat and edible meat offal. However, because guinea fowl is explicitly mentioned in heading 0207, 0208 is incorrect. Additionally, if the product is frozen, it must move to 0207.60 specifically under frozen sub-designations in regional tariffs, though the 6-digit level remains the same.

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).
