HTS heading 0206 is a four-digit product category for edible offal from certain hoofed animals: bovine animals, swine, sheep, goats, horses, asses, mules, or hinnies. “Offal” generally means edible internal organs and other edible parts, such as liver, kidneys, tongues, hearts, and similar products. The goods must be fresh, chilled, or frozen; prepared, preserved, or otherwise processed products may belong elsewhere.
To reach the correct eight-digit HTSUS code, first identify the animal, the specific offal or part, and its condition. The subheadings then divide the category into more specific product types, commonly by animal and organ or part. Review the current HTSUS description, unit of quantity, and any chapter or section notes, and confirm the result with a customs broker or other qualified classification professional when the product is unusual or mixed.
What to check
- Identify the animal species and the exact edible organ or part; do not rely only on a marketing name.
- Confirm whether the product is fresh, chilled, or frozen, and check whether cooking, curing, drying, seasoning, or other processing moves it outside heading 0206.
- Read the complete eight-digit subheading description, including punctuation, exclusions, and any “other” provision, rather than stopping at the four-digit heading.
- Check whether the product is whole, cut, mixed with other parts, or packaged with non-meat ingredients, because those details can affect classification.
- Keep product specifications, photographs, ingredient and processing information, and supplier records to support the classification; seek broker or customs advice if more than one provision appears plausible.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
