The forequarters and hindquarters constituting 'compensated quarters' must be presented to customs at the same time and in equal numbers, and the total weight of the forequarters must be equal to that of the hindquarters; however, a difference between the weights of the two parts of the consignment is allowed provided that this does not exceed 5 % of the weight of the heavier part (forequarters or hindquarters); (d) 'unseparated forequarters' (subheadings 0201 20 30 and 0202 20 30): the front part of a carcase comprising all the bones and the flank, neck and shoulder, with a minimum of four pairs of ribs and a maximum of 10 pairs of ribs (the first four pairs of ribs must be whole, the others may be cut), with or without the thin flank; (e) 'separated forequarters' (subheadings 0201 20 30 and 0202 20 30): the front part of a half-carcase comprising all the bones and the flank, neck and shoulder, with a minimum of four ribs and a maximum of 10 ribs (the first four ribs must be whole, the others may be cut), with or without the thin flank; (f) 'unseparated hindquarters' (subheadings 0201 20 50 and 0202 20 50): the rear part of a carcase comprising all the bones and the thigh and sirloin, including the fillet, with a minimum of three pairs of whole or cut ribs, with or without the shank and with or without the thin flank; (g) 'separated hindquarters' (subheadings 0201 20 50 and 0202 20 50): the rear part of a half-carcase comprising all the bones and the thigh and sirloin, including the fillet, with a minimum of three whole or cut ribs, with or without the shank and with or without the thin flank.
