HS code for Frozen goose: 0207.55
Meat and edible offal, of geese, cuts and offal, excluding fatty livers, frozen.
Classification of frozen goose under HS 0207.55
The classification of frozen goose meat under HS code 020755 is governed by the General Rules for the Interpretation (GRI) of the Harmonized System. According to GRI 1, classification is determined by the terms of the headings and any relative section or chapter notes. Chapter 2 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule is dedicated to meat and edible meat offal. Within this chapter, Heading 0207 specifically covers meat and edible offal of poultry, which includes chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, and guinea fowls. The structure of Heading 0207 is further subdivided by species and then by the state of preservation (fresh, chilled, or frozen) and the specific cut. For geese, the 0207.5x subheadings are applicable. Subheading 020755 is designated for frozen cuts and offal of geese. A critical distinction in this classification is the exclusion of fatty livers, which are classified under 020753. Therefore, 020755 encompasses all other frozen parts of the goose, such as the breast, legs, and wings, as well as standard edible offal like the heart or gizzard. The product must be frozen to a core temperature that ensures preservation during transport and storage to meet the criteria of this code. If the product is further processed, such as being cooked or seasoned, it would move out of Chapter 2 and into Chapter 16.

Codes often confused with 0207.55
Common mistake. A frequent error in classifying goose products involves confusing frozen cuts with fresh or chilled cuts. Fresh or chilled goose cuts are classified under HS code 020754. Another significant area of confusion is the classification of goose livers. While standard frozen goose livers fall under 020755, "fatty livers" (foie gras) are specifically assigned to HS code 020753 due to their distinct market value and production method. Additionally, if the goose meat has been salted, in brine, dried, or smoked, it should be classified under heading 0210 rather than 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).
