Last updated: April 2026 dataConcentrated flavor extracts, bouillons, and natural juices derived from meat, fish, shellfish, and molluscs serve as foundational ingredients in food manufacturing, seasoning blends, and culinary applications — making this heading commercially significant well beyond its modest import volume. Clam juice (1603001000) is the most familiar retail product in the US market, while meat extracts (1603009010) and fish/shellfish extracts (1603009090 and 1603009500) supply the food-processing and flavor industry. New Zealand and Spain lead US imports, with Hong Kong, Australia, and Norway also supplying product. FDA governs admissibility for fish- and shellfish-derived extracts, while USDA FSIS oversight applies to meat-derived extracts; importers must identify the source species to route the shipment to the correct agency. Classification between the meat-extract and seafood-extract lines hinges on the primary biological source, requiring accurate ingredient documentation.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Classification follows the product's essential character, typically determined by the predominant source ingredient by weight or by the primary flavor contribution. A product where fish or shellfish extract predominates would fall under 1603009090 or 1603009500, while a beef or chicken bouillon concentrate would fall under 1603009010. When the composition is genuinely mixed, a binding ruling from CBP is the most reliable way to establish the correct line before importation.
Yes — as a food product derived from seafood, clam juice (1603001000) is subject to FDA prior notice requirements under the Bioterrorism Act, and the foreign facility must be FDA-registered. Labeling must comply with FDA standards of identity and allergen disclosure rules, as shellfish is a major food allergen requiring explicit declaration. Consulting a licensed customs broker or regulatory specialist is advisable to ensure full admissibility compliance.
