Last updated: April 2026 dataPrepared and preserved turkey products span a wide processing spectrum under this heading — from ready-to-eat prepared meals (1602310020) and mechanically separated turkey paste (1602310030) to preformed patties and other formed products (1602310050). Canada dominates US supply, with Israel a notable secondary source reflecting that country's significant kosher poultry processing industry. All imported products must clear USDA FSIS reinspection at an approved port of entry, and labeling claims such as 'natural' or specific cooking methods are subject to FSIS scrutiny. The heading excludes turkey liver, which classifies separately under heading 1602.20.

No. The US schedule separates preformed patties and similar products (1602310050) from turkey paste and mechanically separated turkey (1602310030), and both differ from general prepared meals (1602310020). The physical form and processing method of the product determine the correct 10-digit line, so detailed product specifications are needed at entry.
Israel has a well-developed kosher poultry processing sector, and demand from US kosher food distributors makes Israeli prepared turkey a commercially distinct supply stream. Importers sourcing kosher-certified product should confirm that the foreign establishment holds both FSIS approval and recognized kosher certification accepted by the US buyer.
