What is HS code 02071491?

Mechanically deboned or separated meat (MDM or MSM) is a paste-like or batter-like meat product obtained by forcing bones with attached edible meat through a sieve or similar device under high pressure to separate the meat from the bone. This process yields a product distinct from traditional cuts, characterized by its fine texture and high bone marrow content. Within Chapter 02, which covers meat and edible meat offal, this specific code falls under the broader category of frozen cuts and offal from domestic fowls, distinguishing it from fresh or chilled poultry products.

For accurate classification into this subheading, it is essential to confirm that the product is indeed derived from fowls of the species Gallus domesticus and has undergone a mechanical deboning or separation process. Importers should be prepared to provide technical specifications, processing descriptions, or laboratory analyses to demonstrate the product's nature and origin. Distinguishing this product from finely minced or ground meat that has not undergone mechanical separation is crucial, as the latter would typically fall under different subheadings depending on its form and processing. The frozen state is also a definitive characteristic for this specific classification.

Import-duty saving opportunity
MFN duty 20%drops to 0% under ACFTA (ASEAN - China)

A 20% gap - illustrated on a 100,000 USD shipment, that is roughly 20,000 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.
