HS code for Frozen guinea fowl: 0207.60
Meat and edible offal, of guinea fowls, fresh, chilled or frozen.
Classification of frozen guinea fowl under HS 0207.60
Frozen guinea fowl is classified under HS code 020760. This classification is situated within Chapter 2, which encompasses meat and edible meat offal. Heading 0207 is reserved for poultry meat of the species Gallus domesticus, ducks, geese, turkeys, and guinea fowls. Unlike other poultry types that have separate subheadings for fresh/chilled and frozen states, guinea fowl is grouped into a single subheading (020760) that covers meat and offal in fresh, chilled, or frozen forms. This simplifies the classification process for this specific species. The classification depends on the biological identification of the bird as Numida meleagris. Whether the product is a whole carcass, specific cuts, or edible offal, as long as it is guinea fowl and has not been cooked or further prepared beyond basic butchery and preservation (chilling or freezing), it remains within this category. The Harmonized System treats guinea fowl as a distinct poultry category, separate from the more common chicken or turkey, requiring importers to ensure the species is correctly identified on commercial invoices to avoid customs delays.

Codes often confused with 0207.60
Common mistake. The most common misclassification occurs when guinea fowl is mistakenly declared under the codes for chicken (020711-020714) or turkey (020724-020727). Because guinea fowl is less common in international trade than chicken, logistics providers may default to the more general poultry codes. It is also important to distinguish between raw guinea fowl and prepared guinea fowl. If the meat is seasoned, breaded, or cooked, it must be classified under HS code 160239, which covers other prepared or preserved poultry meat.

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).
