    The HS classification of plant-based meat


    Posted by Cory ‣ July 30th, 2019

    What is a classification?
    HS classification is the process of
    determining a products place in the
    universal index

    2/11/2563 The HS classification of plant-based meat - Border Bee

    (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonized_System) of international trade. Proper


    classification is essential to compliance, but finding the true classification of a certain
    product can be challenging and sometimes  absurd.
    (https://www.wnycstudios.org/story/177199-mutant-rights)

    Plant-based meat vendors are working hard to brand their products as a meat
    alternative rather than as a traditional vegetarian product. While this marketing
    strategy is working, for Customs purposes these products remain under the same
    heading as all other imitation meats (2106.90). However, new products are arriving
    quickly (such as plant-based eggs and bacon) which could be classified differently
    depending on their ingredient list and level of manufacturing — if the product has
    one dominant ingredient (i.e. it is made of 100% beets) then the correct
    classification could reasonably shift to a different category.
