Classification of fresh lamb offal under HS 0206.80
Fresh lamb offal is classified under HS code 0206.80, which falls within Chapter 2 of the Harmonized System. Heading 0206 covers edible offal of bovine animals, swine, sheep, goats, horses, asses, mules, or hinnies. Subheading 0206.80 is a collective category for the fresh or chilled edible offal of sheep, goats, horses, and other equines. Offal generally includes the internal organs and other parts of the animal that are not considered skeletal muscle meat. This includes items such as the heart, liver, kidneys, tongue, and brains. For classification under 0206.80, the offal must be in a fresh or chilled state. Chilling involves reducing the temperature of the product to near freezing without actually freezing the cellular structure of the tissue. If the offal is frozen, it moves to subheading 0206.90. The classification process requires adherence to GRI 1, which prioritizes the terms of the headings. It is important to note that certain parts of the animal, such as the guts, bladders, and stomachs, are excluded from Heading 0206 and are instead classified under Heading 0504, unless they are intended for food use and meet specific criteria. However, for standard edible organs of lamb, 0206.80 is the primary classification for fresh or chilled trade.

Codes often confused with 0206.80
Common mistake. The most common misclassification is using HS code 0206.90, which is reserved for frozen offal. Additionally, importers sometimes confuse edible offal with meat cuts classified under 0204. Furthermore, animal parts not intended for human consumption or specific organs like stomachs may be incorrectly placed here instead of 0504.00.

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).
