Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If chilled rather than frozen
Chilled bovine carcasses fall under heading 0201, while frozen ones are in 0202; temperature at import determines classification.
If processed into quarters, fore-quarters, or hind-quarters
Only full carcasses or half-carcasses qualify under 0202.10; cuts into quarters move to 0202.20 as they are no longer whole or half.
If from non-quota countries exceeding general limits
Products not described in or entered pursuant to U.S. note 3 go to other subheadings like 0202.30.30 for other frozen cuts.
