U.S. exports of sausages & similar products of meat, offal, blood or insects (HS 160100) totaled $89.6M in July 2026.
Importers of Sausages & Similar Products of Meat, Offal, Blood or Insects paid $516K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 8.9% on $5.8M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Sausages & Similar Products of Meat, Offal, Blood or Insects imports of $23.9M in July 2026 ran 30% above the year-to-date monthly average of $18.3M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataUSDA FSIS jurisdiction governs all imported sausages and similar meat preparations under this heading, which must originate from FSIS-approved foreign establishments and undergo reinspection at the port of entry. The US schedule distinguishes poultry sausages by species — chicken (1601000010) versus other poultry (1601000020) — and separates pork and beef sausages by packaging format, with canned pork sausage (1601002010) and beef sausage in airtight containers (1601004090) each carrying distinct lines. Canada leads US imports under this heading, with Italy and Spain significant sources of specialty cured and fermented sausage products such as salami and chorizo. Country-of-origin labeling and FSIS establishment approval are non-negotiable prerequisites for market entry.

Foreign establishments must be certified by their national competent authority and listed on FSIS's approved foreign establishment roster before any product can be exported to the US. FSIS conducts equivalence determinations of foreign food safety systems and performs periodic audits. Importers should verify that the specific producing establishment — not just the country — holds current FSIS approval, as approval can be suspended or withdrawn at any time.
The 2022 HS revision added insects as an explicit component of this heading's scope, but US 10-digit lines under 1601 do not yet have a dedicated insect-specific breakout — insect-containing sausages would currently be classified in the residual 'other than poultry' line (1601000090) or another applicable line based on the predominant meat or protein content. Given the novelty of insect-based meat products, importers should seek a binding ruling from CBP and confirm FDA or FSIS jurisdiction based on the product's composition before importation.
