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.
