What HTS 0201.30.50.15 Covers
This statistical line covers boneless cuts of veal that are fresh or chilled, not frozen. Veal is meat from young bovine animals, and typical products are boneless legs, loins, racks that have been deboned, and trimmed veal cutlet material. The meat must arrive above freezing; frozen product moves to heading 0202.
Notes for Importers
Fresh and chilled beef under 0201 is subject to tariff-rate quota rules based on country of origin, and the 8-digit line an entry falls under depends on whether the goods enter within the applicable quota quantity, so importers should confirm quota status before entry. Bone-in veal and carcasses classify under different statistical suffixes, and frozen boneless veal belongs in heading 0202 instead. USDA and FSIS import requirements apply to all beef and veal shipments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this code cover frozen veal?
No. Heading 0201 only covers fresh or chilled bovine meat. Veal that is frozen when it crosses the border is classified under heading 0202.
How is veal distinguished from beef for this line?

Are there quota considerations for boneless veal?
Yes. Fresh and chilled beef and veal are covered by tariff-rate quotas that vary by country of origin. Whether goods enter inside or outside the quota changes the applicable 8-digit line, so check quota fill status with CBP before shipping.
