Extracts and Juices of Meat, Fish, Crustaceans, Molluscs, and Other Aquatic Invertebrates

Concentrated flavor and nutritional extracts derived from meat, fish, crustaceans, and molluscs serve as key inputs for the food manufacturing, seasoning, and nutraceutical industries. New Zealand and Spain are the leading US suppliers under this heading, with Hong Kong, Australia, and Norway also among the top sources. The US schedule distinguishes clam juice (1603001000), meat extracts and juices (1603009010), and fish/crustacean/mollusc extracts in two additional lines (1603009090 and 1603009500), with classification turning on the source animal and processing method. FDA reviews these products at entry as processed seafood or meat-derived food ingredients, and importers should confirm compliance with applicable food safety regulations before shipment.
