What is HS code 02071200?

This category encompasses entire frozen carcasses of domestic fowls, which may include edible offal such as hearts, livers, and gizzards, provided they remain an integral part of the whole bird. These products are commonly imported for further processing, retail sale, or food service, aligning with Chapter 02's scope for meat and edible meat offal, and heading 0207 for poultry meat.

Accurate classification for imports into Vietnam requires careful attention to the product's state. It is essential to differentiate these whole, frozen birds from fresh or chilled poultry (classified under 0207.11) and from poultry that has been cut into pieces, whether fresh, chilled, or frozen (classified under 0207.14). The key determinant for this specific code is the frozen condition and the integrity of the bird as a single, uncut unit, which should be clearly reflected in shipping documents and product specifications.

Import-duty saving opportunity
MFN duty 40%drops to 0% under ACFTA (ASEAN - China)

A 40% gap - illustrated on a 100,000 USD shipment, that is roughly 40,000 USD saved in import duty.

But only if the shipment has a valid C/O and meets the rules of origin (RVC/CTC, etc.). The wrong C/O form or an RVC shortfall → duty reassessment and penalties at a post-clearance audit.

* The amount is illustrative only, not a commitment. The % gap comes from Vietnam’s 2026 tariff schedule; the preference actually granted depends on each shipment’s rules of origin.
