Last updated: June 2026 dataGoose liver — including foie gras preparations — receives its own dedicated tariff line (1602202000) under this heading, while all other prepared or preserved animal livers fall under 1602204000, making species identification a critical classification step. Croatia leads US imports under this heading, followed by Canada and New Zealand, reflecting both European specialty-liver traditions and North American processing capacity.

Importers should verify whether a product's cereal or vegetable content affects classification elsewhere in Chapter 16.

The schedule carves out goose liver into its own line (1602202000), covering foie gras and similar preparations, while all other species — pork, beef, poultry other than goose — fall under 1602204000. Correct species declaration on entry documents is essential to avoid misclassification.
Shipments must originate from a USDA FSIS-approved foreign establishment and are subject to reinspection at the US port of entry. European suppliers, including those from Croatia, must appear on FSIS's eligible countries and establishments list, and labeling must meet US standards before the product can enter commerce. Consulting a licensed customs broker or FSIS is advisable given the complexity of admissibility requirements.
