Last updated: August 2026 dataDonated food products commingled for humanitarian relief or charitable distribution enter under the single line 9802100000, a provision designed to facilitate duty-free entry of food aid without requiring the granular commodity-by-commodity classification that a commercial food shipment would demand. Despite the duty-free treatment, FDA food safety requirements and, where applicable, USDA FSIS inspection requirements for meat or poultry components do not disappear — donated status affects duty liability, not admissibility review. Organizations coordinating food-aid imports should work with a licensed customs broker to confirm that the commingled nature of the shipment is properly documented and that all component food categories meet US admissibility standards.

No. Duty-free classification under 9802100000 addresses tariff liability only. FDA prior notice requirements apply to all food imports regardless of donation status, and any meat or poultry components in the commingled shipment remain subject to USDA FSIS inspection. Organizations importing food aid should coordinate with the relevant agencies well in advance of arrival to avoid port delays. Consult a licensed customs broker or the relevant agency before importing.
CBP typically requires a donation certificate or letter from the donating organization, documentation identifying the recipient charitable or relief organization, and evidence that no commercial consideration is exchanged. If the shipment is part of a government food-aid program, program authorization documents should accompany the entry. Incomplete documentation can result in the shipment being assessed duties under the underlying food commodity classifications.
