Last updated: April 2026 dataDuck, goose, guinea fowl, and other poultry of heading 0105 — excluding turkey and chicken — fall here when prepared or preserved, with the US schedule organizing products by meal format and packaging (airtight vs. non-airtight containers across lines 1602390015 through 1602390045). Canada and Mexico together account for the dominant share of US imports under this heading, reflecting integrated North American poultry supply chains. USDA FSIS approval of the foreign establishment and port-of-entry reinspection are required for all shipments. Importers should confirm species identity in commercial documentation, as misidentification between duck and chicken can trigger reclassification to heading 1602.32.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes, provided the product is made from duck (a poultry species of heading 0105 other than turkey or chicken) and is prepared or preserved. The specific 10-digit line depends on whether the product is a prepared meal in an airtight container or another preparation format. Detailed ingredient and processing documentation should accompany the entry.
CBP and FSIS may require a certificate of origin, a product specification sheet identifying the poultry species, and an ingredient statement. For specialty products like duck or goose, a supplier's species declaration and, where applicable, a veterinary health certificate from the exporting country's competent authority are advisable. Consulting a licensed customs broker is recommended given the classification sensitivity.
