Last updated: April 2026 dataNew Zealand and China lead US supply under this residual 'other meat' heading, which spans commercially distinct products including venison (0208902000), frog legs (0208902500), whole eviscerated quail (0208903000), and additional miscellaneous meat and offal lines. The breadth of species covered means classification at the 10-digit level is critical — each product line carries its own duty treatment and, in some cases, different regulatory pathways. Frog legs, for example, may trigger US Fish & Wildlife Service review under wildlife import rules in addition to FSIS food-safety inspection, while farmed quail and venison follow a more straightforward FSIS reinspection process.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. Frog legs (classified under 0208902500) may be subject to review by the US Fish & Wildlife Service, particularly when sourced from wild-caught species that could be subject to CITES listing or the Lacey Act. Importers should verify the species and harvest method with their supplier and confirm whether a wildlife import declaration or permit is required, in addition to meeting FSIS establishment-approval requirements. Consult a licensed customs broker or the relevant agencies before shipment.
The distinction between these two catch-all lines is determined by the applicable tariff schedule notes and any relevant chapter or section notes in the US HTS. In practice, the correct line depends on the specific animal species and whether any other more specific 10-digit provision applies. A licensed customs broker or a binding ruling request to CBP is the most reliable way to confirm classification for unusual or novel species.
