The duty for HS code 0207.51 is typically calculated on a per-kilogram or per-100-kilogram basis (specific duty), or sometimes as a percentage of the value (ad valorem duty), depending on the importing country's tariff. For instance, if importing 5,000 kg of geese meat into the UK and the duty rate is 37.00 GBP per 100 kg, the calculation would be: (5,000 kg / 100 kg) * 37.00 GBP/100 kg = 50 * 37.00 GBP = 1,850.00 GBP. Always verify the basis of calculation (weight vs. value) and the exact rate in the destination country's tariff.

Import Permits: Some countries may require specific import permits for meat products. 3. Phytosanitary Certificates: While less common for meat, ensure no specific plant health requirements apply if any associated products are involved. 4.
