Reading code 0208

The first two digits (02) place this code in chapter 02 — Meat and Edible Meat Offal. As a 4-digit heading it groups a whole product family; 6 and 8-digit codes underneath it get more specific. Remember: you can never invent a shorter code by truncating a longer one — only codes that exist in the official tariff are valid.

Fresh, chilled, and frozen meat and edible offal. Unbranded fresh meat is generally exempt, while packaged and labelled meat attracts GST.
