Classification of frozen duck cuts under HS 0207.45
Frozen duck cuts and offal (excluding fatty livers) are classified under HS code 0207.45. This classification is part of Chapter 2, which covers meat and edible meat offal. Heading 0207 is specifically for meat and edible offal of poultry of heading 0105 (chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, and guinea fowls), fresh, chilled, or frozen. Subheading 0207.45 specifically addresses frozen cuts and offal of ducks. This excludes "foie gras" or fatty livers, which are classified under 0207.43. The classification depends on the species (duck), the state of the product (frozen), and the form (cuts or offal rather than whole birds). This code is used by customs authorities to apply relevant tariffs and monitor the trade of poultry products, ensuring that processed cuts are distinguished from whole carcasses. The distinction between a "cut" and a "whole bird" is defined by whether the bird has been divided into parts like breasts, legs, or wings. Offal included here refers to edible internal organs like hearts or gizzards that have been frozen.

Codes often confused with 0207.45
Common mistake. A common misclassification occurs with 0207.44, which is the code for fresh or chilled duck cuts. The temperature state is the primary differentiator. Another frequent error is the inclusion of fatty livers (foie gras) under this code; these must be classified under 0207.43. Furthermore, if the duck cuts are seasoned, marinated, or cooked, they move from Chapter 2 to Chapter 16 (specifically 1602.39). It is also important to distinguish duck cuts from other poultry cuts, such as goose (0207.55) or turkey (0207.27), as each species has its own specific subheading.

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).
