HTS tariff line · chapter 02
0205.00.00
Meat of horses, asses, mules or hinnies, fresh, chilled or frozen
Analysis
HTS 0205.00.00 covers meat of horses, asses, mules or hinnies, fresh, chilled or frozen under heading 0205 (meat of horses, asses, mules or hinnies, fresh, chilled or frozen).
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 36% of the 56 tariff lines in chapter 02. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
It is the only US line under subheading 0205.00, so the six-digit code used by every Harmonized System country and the eight-digit US line describe the same goods; a foreign tariff or an exporter's invoice showing 0205.00 points straight here.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 311611 (Animal (except Poultry) Slaughtering), an industry of 1,274 US establishments employing 159,965 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
The general rate of Free has not changed in any edition of the schedule since Jan 2023.
