Last updated: April 2026 dataFresh, frozen, water-cooked, or molded egg yolks — distinct from the dried form — serve the food-manufacturing sector as a ready-to-use liquid or frozen ingredient in sauces, confectionery, and ready meals, classified under a single line (0408190000). Mexico is the leading US supplier, with China and Taiwan also significant sources, giving importers a mix of near-shore and long-haul supply options with different cold-chain requirements. FDA prior notice and pathogen compliance apply, and frozen yolk shipments must maintain unbroken cold-chain documentation from the foreign establishment through US port entry. Importers sourcing from Mexico may benefit from USMCA preferential treatment, subject to applicable rules of origin.

While CBP does not mandate a specific cold-chain document, FDA may request temperature logs or certificates confirming that the product was maintained at or below the required frozen temperature throughout transit. Importers should also ensure that the foreign establishment is registered with FDA and that prior notice is filed before arrival at the US port of entry.
Egg yolks that have been shaped or molded — for example, formed into spheres or blocks for specialty culinary use — remain classifiable under 0408190000 as long as they are not dried. The physical form (molded vs. liquid vs. frozen block) does not change the heading, but it should be accurately described on the commercial invoice to avoid questions about whether the product has been further processed into a preparation classifiable elsewhere.
