U.S. imports of Dairy Products and Eggs (End-Use 00110) totaled $363.8M in August 2026, imported from 98 countries.
Importers of Dairy Products and Eggs paid $48.2M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 13.29% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Dairy Products and Eggs imports of $363.8M in August 2026 ran 14% above the year-to-date monthly average of $318.6M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataFDA oversight applies to most imported dairy products, while USDA FSIS jurisdiction covers certain processed dairy items depending on their meat content; egg products fall under FSIS as well. Tariff-rate quotas govern many cheese and butter lines, making quota timing and certificate-of-quota eligibility critical for cost planning. Importers should track country-of-origin documentation carefully, as dairy specifications — fat content, moisture levels, aging requirements — determine both HTS classification and admissibility. Seasonal supply shifts and cold-chain requirements add further complexity to sourcing decisions.

FDA oversees most dairy imports for food safety compliance, while USDA FSIS has jurisdiction over egg products and any dairy preparations with significant meat content. Some dairy lines also require USDA Agricultural Marketing Service certificates for TRQ administration.
Many cheese and butter subheadings carry TRQs that allow a set volume to enter at a lower in-quota duty rate; imports above that threshold face a substantially higher over-quota rate. Importers must obtain quota allocations in advance and time shipments accordingly to avoid unexpected duty exposure.
Fat content, moisture percentage, and degree of processing are the most frequent classification triggers — for example, distinguishing fresh cheese from processed cheese preparations, or whole eggs from egg products. Misclassification between these distinctions can shift a shipment into a different TRQ basket or duty rate, so precise lab analysis and supplier documentation are advisable.
