Last updated: April 2026 dataRetail-packaged dog and cat food enters the US under heading 230910, subdivided between airtight containers (2309100010) and other presentations (2309100090), with a legacy single-line code (2309100000) also present in the schedule. Thailand is the leading supplier to the US market, reflecting its large-scale canned pet food manufacturing industry, followed by Canada, Cambodia, Mexico, and Vietnam. All imported pet food is subject to FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine oversight, including facility registration and compliance with animal feed ingredient and labeling requirements; shipments from unapproved or unregistered foreign facilities may be refused entry. Importers should also verify whether any meat or fish ingredients in the product trigger additional USDA FSIS or FDA seafood HACCP requirements depending on species and processing.

Foreign manufacturers of pet food exported to the US must register their facilities with FDA under the Bioterrorism Act and comply with FDA's animal feed regulations, including ingredient safety and labeling standards. FDA may conduct prior notice review and port-of-entry examination. Shipments that fail to meet these requirements — or that originate from facilities subject to import alerts — may be detained or refused entry. Importers should confirm supplier facility registration status before placing orders.
The split between airtight containers and other presentations is a classification distinction within the 10-digit US schedule and may carry different statistical reporting obligations, but both lines are subject to the same FDA admissibility framework. Importers should confirm current duty rates for each line with a licensed customs broker, as rates can differ between the two presentations.
