HS code for Frozen duck offal: 0207.45
Meat and edible offal, of ducks, cuts and offal, excluding fatty livers, frozen.
Classification of frozen duck offal under HS 0207.45
Frozen duck offal is classified under HS code 0207.45 according to the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) 1 and 6. Chapter 2 of the Harmonized System covers meat and edible meat offal, while heading 0207 specifically addresses the meat and edible offal of poultry, including chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, and guinea fowls. Within this heading, the classification is further refined by the species and the state of the product. Sub-heading 0207.45 is designated for frozen cuts and offal of ducks, with the specific exclusion of fatty livers (foie gras). The term 'offal' generally refers to the internal organs and other parts of the bird that are separated from the carcass during the slaughtering and dressing process. To be correctly classified under this code, the product must be maintained in a frozen state, typically at temperatures of -18 degrees Celsius or lower, to ensure preservation during international transport. This classification is essential for regulatory compliance, as poultry products are often subject to strict veterinary controls and quotas.

Codes often confused with 0207.45
Common mistake. A frequent point of confusion involves HS code 0207.43, which is specifically for fatty livers (foie gras) of ducks. If the liver is considered 'fatty' due to specialized feeding, it must be moved to 0207.43. Additionally, fresh or chilled duck offal is classified under 0207.44; the distinction rests entirely on the method of preservation. Some importers also mistakenly look at heading 0504, which covers animal guts, bladders, and stomachs; however, edible poultry offal is specifically directed to heading 0207.

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).
