U.S. exports of whole chickens, fresh or chilled (not cut in pieces) (HS 020711) totaled $2.2M in July 2026.
Last updated: July 2026 dataFresh and chilled whole chickens — classified as either young birds (0207110020) or other whole chickens (0207110040) — represent a temperature-sensitive segment of the poultry trade where cold-chain integrity is paramount and shelf life constrains sourcing geography. Canada is the dominant supplier, with the United Kingdom also contributing, reflecting proximity and FSIS-approved establishment status as key qualifiers for fresh product. USDA FSIS reinspection is mandatory at the port of entry, and the exporting country must maintain an inspection system recognized as equivalent to the US federal system. The age-based split between young and non-young birds affects both classification and commercial pricing.

The US tariff schedule separates whole fresh or chilled chickens into young birds (0207110020) and all others (0207110040). 'Young' chickens are generally broilers or fryers slaughtered before reaching full maturity, a distinction that can affect both duty rates and commercial grading. Importers should confirm the age or production category with the foreign supplier to ensure correct classification.
Fresh and chilled poultry has a limited shelf life compared to frozen product, making proximity to the US market a critical factor. Canada's geographic advantage and its FSIS-recognized inspection system make it the leading supplier; the United Kingdom's presence reflects established trade relationships and approved establishment infrastructure rather than proximity alone.
