HS code 02072400 – Not cut in pieces, fresh or chilled

What is HS code 02072400?
This category specifically includes whole carcasses of turkeys, as defined in heading 01.05, that have not undergone freezing processes and remain intact. These products fall under Chapter 02, which encompasses meat and edible meat offal, and more specifically under heading 0207 for poultry meat. The primary characteristic is the complete, uncut form and the temperature state, distinguishing them from other forms of poultry meat.
Accurate classification for imports into Vietnam hinges on the precise state and form of the turkey. It is essential to differentiate these products from frozen turkeys (classified elsewhere under 0207) or those that have been cut into pieces, even if fresh or chilled. Customs authorities typically require documentation such as veterinary health certificates and transport records to confirm the fresh or chilled condition and that the birds are presented as whole, not dismembered.

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.
