Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If water-chilled only

If seasoned or marinated
Added seasonings make it 'meat prepared otherwise' under 0210, not plain fresh meat.
If Cooking transforms to prepared/preserved poultry under Chapter 16.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Document air-chilling process to distinguish from water-chilled; affects yield and labeling claims
• Use refrigerated containers; CBP inspects for temperature compliance to confirm 'fresh/chilled' status
• Monitor USTR poultry import licenses; unlicensed entries face detention or duty escalation
