Meat and edible offal, of geese, not cut in pieces, frozen.
Classification of frozen whole goose under HS 0207.52
The HS code 0207.52 is utilized for the international trade of frozen whole geese. Classification within this subheading is determined by the biological species and the physical state of the meat. As part of the 0207 heading, which encompasses poultry meat, 0207.52 specifically targets the Anser species. The requirement for the product to be "not cut in pieces" implies that the bird is traded as a complete carcass. This classification is essential for monitoring trade volumes and applying specific sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) measures that vary between whole birds and processed cuts. The product must be frozen to a degree that ensures the entire mass is solidified, which is a requirement for all goods under the "frozen" subheadings of Chapter 2. If the goose has been seasoned, cooked, or preserved in salt or brine beyond what is necessary for freezing, it may be reclassified under Chapter 16. The whole goose classification is often used for holiday trade and specialty meat markets, requiring precise documentation to ensure the correct duty rates are applied at the border.

Codes often confused with 0207.52
Common mistake. The most frequent error is misclassifying the product under 0207.51, which is the code for fresh or chilled whole geese. Another common mistake involves HS code 0207.55, which is intended for frozen goose cuts and edible offal. If the goose is missing parts other than the head, feet, or viscera—such as being sold as a "goose breast"—it cannot be classified under 0207.52. Additionally, wild geese hunted for non-commercial purposes might sometimes be confused with commercial poultry, though the HS code remains the same if traded as 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).
