Last updated: June 2026 dataFrozen whole chickens are classified by maturity — young birds (0207120020) versus other whole chickens (0207120040) — mirroring the structure applied to fresh product but with the logistical flexibility that frozen storage provides. Canada is the leading supplier, consistent with its dominant position in US poultry trade. USDA FSIS reinspection is required for all imported poultry, and importers should confirm that the exporting establishment's FSIS approval covers the specific product type and species.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. Frozen poultry may be held in a USDA-approved cold storage facility under bond while FSIS reinspection is completed. This is a common practice for large shipments and helps manage port congestion, but the product cannot enter US commerce until FSIS releases it.
The two lines may carry different duty rates, so correct classification based on the bird's maturity has both statistical and financial implications. Importers should ensure that commercial documentation from the foreign supplier clearly identifies the production category — broiler, roaster, fowl, etc. — to support the appropriate line.
