U.S. imports of ice cream and other edible ice (HS 210500) totaled $31.8M in July 2026, traded with 47 countries.
Importers of Ice Cream and Other Edible Ice paid $7.1M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 31% on $22.6M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataDairy content is the central classification driver for ice cream and edible ice imports: the US tariff schedule routes products through tariff-rate-quota lines tied to Chapter 4 dairy provisions, with seven 10-digit lines under this heading separating ice cream (2105000010, 2105001000, 2105002000) from other edible ice products (2105000060, 2105003000, 2105004000, 2105005000) based on dairy composition and TRQ eligibility. Products qualifying as dairy under Chapter 4 Additional US Note 10 face quota-driven duty structures that can shift significantly above-quota. Cocoa content does not change the heading classification but may affect labeling requirements. FDA admissibility review applies to all imported edible ice products, and dairy-containing lines may also implicate USDA oversight depending on composition.

No. The heading explicitly covers ice cream and edible ice 'whether or not containing cocoa,' so cocoa content does not move the product to a different heading. Classification within the heading still depends on dairy composition and whether the product falls under the relevant Chapter 4 dairy notes.
Lines referencing Chapter 4 Additional US Notes (such as 2105003000 and 2105004000) apply TRQ treatment based on the product's dairy solids content and whether it qualifies as a dairy product under those notes. Importers should calculate dairy composition carefully, as above-quota duty rates are substantially higher than in-quota rates. Consult a licensed customs broker to confirm TRQ eligibility and quota availability before shipment.
