U.S. imports of sausages & similar products of meat, offal, blood, or insects (HS 160100) totaled $17.3M in April 2026, traded with 10 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataCanada leads US imports under this heading, with Italy, Spain, and Denmark supplying a significant share of European-style cured and fermented sausages โ products whose distinct processing methods (dry-curing, smoking, fermentation) drive classification decisions. The US schedule breaks out poultry sausages by species (chicken at 1601000010, other poultry at 1601000020), pork sausages by packaging format (canned at 1601002010 versus other at 1601002090), and beef sausages similarly, with a residual catch-all at 1601006080 for non-enumerated meat types. USDA FSIS reinspection is required at the port of entry for all shipments, and importers must verify that the foreign establishment holds current FSIS approval. Distinguishing a 'food preparation based on sausage' from a sausage itself is a recurring classification edge case that can shift the applicable duty rate.

CBP generally looks at whether the sausage or similar product is the primary, identifiable component or whether it has been further processed into a composite preparation. Products where the sausage character is subordinate to other ingredients (e.g., a ready meal with sausage pieces in sauce) may fall under a food-preparation line rather than the sausage-specific lines. Consulting a licensed customs broker and requesting a binding ruling from CBP is advisable when the product sits on the boundary.
Yes. All imported sausages and similar meat products require USDA FSIS reinspection at a FSIS-designated port of entry. The foreign establishment must appear on the FSIS list of approved foreign establishments, and each shipment must be accompanied by a foreign government health certificate. Shipments that fail reinspection are refused entry.
