About Chapter 02
Chapter 02 of the Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) is titled “Meat and edible meat offal”. It is part of Section I, Live Animals & Animal Products, together with Chapter 01 (live animals), Chapter 03 (fish and crustaceans), Chapter 04 (dairy produce; birds' eggs; natural honey) and Chapter 05 (products of animal origin).
The chapter is divided into 10 headings, from 0201 (meat of bovine animals, fresh or chilled) to 0210 (meat and edible meat offal, salted, in brine, dried or smoked). The headings with the most codes that people search for are meat of bovine animals, fresh or chilled (0201), meat and edible offal, of the poultry of heading 0105, fresh, chilled or frozen (0207) and other meat and edible meat offal, fresh, chilled or frozen (0208).
Every heading is listed below. Under each are the codes that have their own page on Laabam One, 4 codes in this chapter, each with its full classification: its chapter, heading and sub-heading, and the codes beside it.
Every code in this chapter begins with 02: four digits make a heading, six a sub-heading, and eight a tariff item of India's Customs Tariff. How many of those digits a GST tax invoice shows depends on the business, not the goods: under Notification No. 78/2020 – Central Tax, from 1 April 2021, four digits where aggregate turnover in the previous financial year was up to ₹5 crore, and six above it. Up to ₹5 crore, the code may be left off invoices to unregistered buyers.
No GST rate is shown here. GST rates were revised in September 2025, and a rate appears on this site only once it has been checked against the CBIC rate notifications.
