Prepared or Preserved Meat, Offal, and Blood Preparations (NESOI)

Australia and Canada are the leading suppliers of this catch-all heading for prepared or preserved meats, offal, and blood preparations not classified elsewhere, with Croatia, China, and Vietnam also contributing meaningfully to US import volumes. The US tariff schedule breaks this heading into four 10-digit lines — including prepared frog meat (1602901000), canned animal blood and other preparations (1602909160), and non-canned equivalents (1602909180) — reflecting the diversity of products that fall here when no more specific heading applies. Because many articles in this heading are processed meat or offal products, USDA FSIS admissibility requirements apply: shipments must originate from FSIS-approved foreign establishments and are subject to reinspection at the port of entry. Importers should also note that products from certain origins may carry Section 301 exposure depending on the specific tariff line.
