Last updated: July 2026 dataAt the six-digit NAICS level, this category captures both live bee production and raw or processed honey destined for food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic end uses. Honey's dual role as a food ingredient and a natural remedy places it under FDA food-facility registration requirements for foreign processors, while live bee imports remain under USDA APHIS permit authority. Antidumping measures affecting honey from certain origins mean that even small importers must verify the duty status of their specific supplier before committing to a purchase. Admissibility and classification complexity in this category warrants consultation with a licensed customs broker familiar with both agricultural and food-safety requirements.

Yes. Foreign facilities that manufacture, process, pack, or hold honey intended for US consumption must register with FDA under the Bioterrorism Act food-facility registration program and submit prior notice before each shipment. Failure to register or provide prior notice can result in the shipment being held or refused at the port of entry.
When antidumping duty orders are in effect, importers must deposit estimated duties at the time of entry based on the applicable rate for the specific foreign producer. Because rates are subject to annual administrative reviews, the final duty can differ from the deposit, creating cash-flow uncertainty. Importers often factor this contingent liability into their landed-cost models and contract terms with foreign suppliers.
