Offal, edible, of sheep, goats, horses, asses, mules or hinnies, frozen.
Classification of frozen goat offal under HS 0206.90
Frozen goat offal is classified under HS code 020690. This code is part of Chapter 2 (Meat and edible meat offal) and specifically falls under heading 0206, which covers edible offal of bovine animals, swine, sheep, goats, horses, asses, mules, or hinnies. While the muscle meat of goats is found in 0204, the internal organs and other edible parts (offal) are separated into 0206. Subheading 020690 is a collective category for the frozen edible offal of sheep, goats, and equines. The classification depends on two main factors: the product must be edible (intended for human consumption) and it must be frozen. This distinction is vital for customs valuation and food safety regulations, as offal often carries different sanitary requirements and tariff rates compared to standard muscle meat. The term offal generally includes organs like the heart, liver, kidneys, and lungs, as well as other parts like tongues and feet.

Codes often confused with 0206.90
Common mistake. Frozen goat offal is often misclassified under 020450, which is the code for goat meat (muscle). Another common error is using 020680, which is the code for fresh or chilled offal of sheep, goats, or equines. If the offal is not for human consumption (e.g., intended for pet food manufacturing), it should be classified under 051199. Furthermore, if the offal has been prepared or preserved beyond simple freezing (such as being cooked or canned), it falls under 160290.

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).
