Meat and edible offal, of turkeys, cuts and offal, fresh or chilled.
Classification of fresh turkey cuts under HS 0207.26
Fresh turkey cuts are classified under HS code 0207.26, a designation within Chapter 2 of the Harmonized System which pertains to 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 classification logic for 0207.26 is based on three primary factors: the species (turkey), the form (cuts or offal), and the preservation state (fresh or chilled). Unlike whole birds, "cuts" refer to parts of the carcass that have been separated, such as the breast, thighs, drumsticks, or wings. This subheading also includes edible offal, which encompasses internal organs like the heart, liver, and gizzard, provided they are fresh or chilled. The term "fresh" indicates that the meat has not undergone any preservation process other than simple chilling to maintain its temperature just above the freezing point. This distinction is vital because frozen turkey cuts are classified under a different subheading (0207.27). Customs authorities use these specific codes to apply appropriate tariff rates, monitor food safety standards, and track trade volumes for specific poultry segments. Misclassification can lead to significant delays at the border or the application of incorrect duty rates, especially in regions with strict agricultural protections.

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).
