Meat and edible meat offal, n.e.c. in chapter 2; fresh, chilled or frozen
In plain English
This category includes various types of meat and edible animal parts that are fresh, chilled, or frozen but do not fit into other specific meat categories in this chapter. The items are sorted by the type of animal they come from, such as rabbits, hares, primates, whales, dolphins, porpoises, manatees, dugongs, seals, sea lions, walruses, reptiles like snakes and turtles, and camels or other camelids. Any remaining edible meat and offal that are fresh, chilled, or frozen and not listed elsewhere in this chapter fall into the final group.
