Meat and edible offal, of fowls of the species Gallus domesticus, cuts and offal, frozen.

Classification of frozen chicken cuts under HS 0207.14

The classification of frozen chicken cuts is primarily governed by HS code 020714. This specific code is situated within Chapter 2 of the Harmonized System, which is dedicated to meat and edible meat offal. Heading 0207 specifically addresses the meat and edible offal of poultry, encompassing chickens (Gallus domesticus), ducks, geese, turkeys, and guinea fowls. The subheading 020714 is reserved for frozen cuts and offal of the species Gallus domesticus. Classification is determined by the biological species, the physical state of the product (frozen), and the form in which it is presented (cuts rather than whole carcasses). According to the General Rules for the Interpretation (GRI) of the Harmonized System, products must be classified based on the terms of the headings and any relevant section or chapter notes. Since these products consist of specific parts of the bird that have been separated and subsequently frozen to ensure preservation during international transport, they meet the precise criteria for this six-digit classification. This code is essential for monitoring trade volumes of poultry parts, which often have different market values and regulatory requirements than whole birds.

Codes often confused with 0207.14

Common mistake. A frequent error involves confusing 020714 with 020712, which is reserved for whole frozen chickens. Additionally, products that have been seasoned, marinated, or cooked should not be classified here; instead, they fall under 160232 as prepared poultry meat. Fresh or chilled cuts are also excluded and must be classified under 020713.

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).
