Meat and edible offal, of turkeys, cuts and offal, frozen.
Classification of frozen turkey cuts under HS 0207.27
Frozen turkey cuts and edible offal are classified under HS code 0207.27. This code is part of Heading 0207, which covers meat and edible offal of poultry (chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, and guinea fowls), fresh, chilled, or frozen. Subheading 0207.27 specifically addresses frozen cuts and offal of turkeys. Classification under this code requires the product to be frozen and to consist of specific parts of the turkey rather than the whole bird. This includes primary cuts like breasts and legs, as well as smaller components and edible internal organs. The distinction between \"cuts\" and \"whole\" is a primary factor in poultry classification, as whole frozen turkeys are classified under 0207.25. The meat must be raw and not further prepared (such as seasoned or cooked) to remain in Chapter 2. This code is used extensively in the global meat trade to track the movement of specific poultry parts, which are often subject to different sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) measures compared to whole carcasses.

Codes often confused with 0207.27
Common mistake. A common misclassification occurs with HS code 0207.25, which is for whole frozen turkeys. If a turkey is missing only the neck or feet but is otherwise intact, it is still considered whole. Another frequent error is using HS code 1602.31, which is for prepared or preserved turkey meat. If the turkey cuts have been seasoned, marinated, or pre-cooked, they must be moved to Chapter 16. Additionally, fresh or chilled turkey cuts are classified under 0207.26, not 0207.27.

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).
