Last updated: July 2026 dataCasings derived from the intestines, bladders, and stomachs of cattle, sheep, hogs, and other non-fish animals are a critical input for the sausage and processed-meat industry, where natural casings command premium positioning over collagen alternatives. USDA FSIS exercises jurisdiction over these products when they are intended for use in food applications, requiring that shipments originate from approved foreign establishments and undergo port-of-entry reinspection. Importers must clearly distinguish edible casings from inedible industrial uses, as the regulatory pathway differs.

Edible animal casings must come from USDA FSIS-approved foreign establishments and are subject to reinspection at the US port of entry. The exporting country must have an equivalent meat inspection system recognized by FSIS. Inedible casings destined for non-food industrial uses follow a different admissibility path and may not require FSIS oversight, though CBP entry requirements still apply.
Guts, bladders, and stomachs classified here include whole pieces regardless of whether they are fresh, chilled, frozen, salted, or dried, as long as they remain in a form that has not been further manufactured into a finished product. Processed or prepared casings that have been stuffed, formed, or otherwise converted may advance to a different heading depending on the degree of processing.
