U.S. imports of fresh or chilled whole turkeys (HS 020724) totaled $1.5M in April 2026, traded with 1 country.
Last updated: April 2026 dataWhole turkeys shipped fresh or chilled — rather than frozen — occupy a narrow but commercially significant niche tied to peak seasonal demand, particularly around major US holidays when premium fresh birds command higher retail prices. The single US tariff line (0207240000) covers all whole fresh or chilled turkeys, and Canada is the dominant supplier, benefiting from geographic proximity that makes temperature-controlled cross-border logistics feasible within the tight shelf-life window of fresh poultry. USDA FSIS reinspection is mandatory at the port of entry, and the establishment of origin must appear on the FSIS-approved list prior to shipment.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Fresh or chilled poultry has a limited shelf life — typically measured in days — so viable import origins are effectively constrained to countries with fast, reliable cold-chain access to US ports. This is why Canada dominates this heading; longer transit times from more distant origins make maintaining product quality and meeting FSIS temperature standards extremely difficult.
Yes. All imported poultry, including fresh whole turkeys, must originate from a USDA FSIS-approved foreign establishment. The exporting country's competent authority must also have an active equivalence determination with FSIS. Importers should confirm establishment eligibility well in advance of the holiday shipping season when demand peaks.
