Frozen Camel Shoulder Roast
A bone-in shoulder roast from camel meat, frozen for preservation and export. Although frozen, it aligns with Chapter 2 structure but is specifically captured under 0208.60.00.00 for camelid meat; however, precise classification follows fresh/chilled/frozen distinction per HTS hierarchy.

If explicitly frozen and not combined with offal
Pure frozen camel meat without offal may classify under general frozen meat heading 0209.
If dried and intended as edible offal

If guts or bladders separated
Pure animal guts/bladders from camelids exclude from Chapter 2 per note (a) and go to 0504.
