Whole Chickens, Frozen (Not Cut in Pieces)

U.S. imports of whole chickens, frozen (not cut in pieces) (HS 020712) totaled $12K in April 2026, traded with 1 country.

Last updated: April 2026 data

Frozen whole chickens—split between young birds (0207120020) and other whole chickens (0207120040)—are subject to USDA FSIS reinspection at the port of entry, with the foreign establishment required to hold current FSIS approval. Unlike fresh product, the frozen format allows longer transit times and broader sourcing flexibility, though Canada remains the primary recorded supplier for this heading. Importers should note that USDA APHIS regionalization rules for avian influenza can affect eligibility of specific countries or zones, making it essential to verify current import status before contracting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the 'young' versus 'other' distinction for frozen whole chickens carry any practical duty or compliance difference?

The two 10-digit lines (0207120020 for young and 0207120040 for other) may carry different statistical reporting requirements and can affect how FSIS inspection records are maintained. Importers should classify based on the bird's age at slaughter as documented by the foreign establishment, not by the buyer's intended use.

What labeling requirements apply to frozen whole chickens once they clear FSIS inspection?

After FSIS reinspection, frozen whole chickens must bear FSIS-compliant labeling that includes the country of origin, safe handling instructions, and the establishment number of the foreign processor. Retail-ready packaging must also comply with USDA FSIS label approval requirements before the product can be sold to US consumers.
