Last updated: August 2026 dataDried, salted, and brined oysters — preserved forms distinct from live, fresh, chilled, or frozen product — are widely used in East Asian cuisines and traditional medicine preparations, with South Korea and Japan the leading sources for the US market. The US schedule further divides this heading into farmed (0307190160) and non-farmed (0307190180) product, reflecting the growing importance of aquaculture traceability in seafood trade compliance. FDA oversight applies under seafood HACCP rules, and shellfish-specific sanitation program requirements extend to preserved oyster products, meaning foreign processors must be on an approved list or covered by a bilateral equivalency agreement. Importers should pay close attention to moisture content and salt levels in commercial invoices, as these affect both classification and labeling under FDA standards of identity.

The schedule assigns farmed dried/salted/brined oysters to 0307190160 and non-farmed product to 0307190180. Importers must obtain production-method documentation from the foreign supplier — typically an aquaculture certificate or harvest declaration — to support the correct classification and avoid potential customs audit exposure.
Dried oysters sold at retail must comply with FDA labeling regulations, including a statement of identity using the common or usual name, net quantity of contents, and country of origin. Products with added salt must declare sodium content in the Nutrition Facts panel, and any health or structure-function claims require careful review under FDA guidelines.
