Last updated: August 2026 dataNew Zealand and Chile are the dominant suppliers of preserved mussels to the US market, with New Zealand's green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus) commanding particular recognition in foodservice and retail channels. The US tariff schedule narrows the non-frozen portion of this heading to a single 10-digit line (0307390100) covering dried, salted, and brined mussels, while frozen mussels are classified separately under adjacent subheadings. Importers should note that all shellfish products are subject to FDA admissibility review, and shipments from approved foreign establishments must meet Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) standards under the Seafood HACCP regulation. Proper species identification on commercial invoices is essential, as green-lipped versus blue mussel distinctions can affect both tariff treatment and country-of-origin labeling requirements.

No. Within heading 030739, the children array contains only 0307390100, which covers dried, salted, or in-brine mussels. Frozen mussels are classified under a separate subheading not listed here, so importers must confirm the correct 10-digit code based on the product's preservation method before filing entry.
FDA requires a Prior Notice of imported food shipments and expects the foreign processor to operate under a HACCP plan compliant with the US Seafood HACCP regulation (21 CFR Part 123). Shellfish specifically may also need to comply with the National Shellfish Sanitation Program (NSSP) requirements, and importers should verify that the source country has a memorandum of understanding with the US covering shellfish sanitation.
