Last updated: July 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.

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.
