HS Code for Guinea fowl meat

Guinea fowl meat is classified under HS code 020760. Chapter 2 of the Harmonized System covers meat and edible meat offal. Heading 0207 is specifically reserved for the meat and edible offal of poultry of heading 0105, which includes chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, and guinea fowls, provided the meat is fresh, chilled, or frozen. Subheading 020760 is the specific designation for guinea fowl meat. The classification is determined by the species of the bird and the fact that the meat has not been cooked or otherwise prepared beyond basic butchery processes like chilling or freezing. This code includes both whole carcasses and specific cuts, as well as edible offal such as livers, hearts, and gizzards, as long as they originate from guinea fowls.

Common Misclassification

Guinea fowl meat is sometimes misclassified under HS code 0208, which covers \"other meat and edible meat offal, fresh, chilled or frozen.\" However, because guinea fowls are specifically listed as poultry in heading 0105, they must stay within 0207. Another common mistake is using HS code 1602, which is for prepared or preserved meat. If the guinea fowl meat has been cooked, seasoned, or processed into sausages, it moves from Chapter 2 to Chapter 16.
