Prepared or Preserved Duck, Goose, Guinea Fowl & Other Poultry Meat

Chicken and turkey are commercially significant enough to warrant their own dedicated HS subheadings (160232 and 160231, respectively). Heading 160239 captures the remaining poultry species of heading 0105 — ducks, geese, and guinea fowl — ensuring that all prepared poultry products have a classification home without overlap.

Yes, prepared or preserved duck products such as confit or rillettes generally classify under 160239 when the duck meat is the primary component. All such shipments require USDA FSIS reinspection at entry from an FSIS-approved foreign establishment, accompanied by a foreign government health certificate. Importers should consult a licensed customs broker to confirm the correct 10-digit line based on packaging and preparation method.
