Last updated: August 2026 dataFresh and chilled whole turkeys, classified under a single US tariff line (0207240000), occupy a narrow but seasonally significant trade lane driven largely by holiday demand cycles. Canada is the sole leading supplier under this heading, a reflection of geographic proximity, integrated North American poultry production, and FSIS-recognized inspection equivalency. The fresh format imposes strict cold-chain and shelf-life constraints that effectively limit competitive sourcing to nearby origins. USDA FSIS reinspection is required at the port of entry before domestic release.

Fresh whole turkey imports spike in the weeks preceding major US holidays, particularly Thanksgiving and Christmas. The short shelf life of fresh product means importers must coordinate FSIS port reinspection scheduling tightly with arrival windows to avoid product deterioration. Advance planning with FSIS-approved establishments and designated ports is essential during peak periods.
Certain poultry subheadings in Chapter 02 are subject to tariff-rate-quota treatment, and importers should verify current TRQ status and quota availability with CBP before shipment. A licensed customs broker can confirm whether quota applies to 0207240000 and assist with quota allocation procedures.
