Shipments from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs in addition to the standard column 1 rate, a cost factor importers should model carefully.

Several 10-digit lines under 1602.32 distinguish airtight-container prepared meals from non-airtight formats, and some lines further separate products by whether they contain cereal or vegetables. Importers must document the packaging type, container seal method, and ingredient composition to select the correct tariff line and avoid reclassification at entry.
Prepared chicken products from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs on top of the standard MFN duty rate. The applicable Section 301 list and rate tier should be confirmed with a licensed customs broker before shipment, as the tariff treatment for this category has been subject to ongoing review and modification.
