Last updated: April 2026 dataPrepared and preserved liver — whether from bovine, porcine, poultry, or other animal sources — is consolidated under this residual heading when not captured by a more specific classification, making species identification a key compliance step for importers. USDA FSIS governs all imported prepared liver products from land animals and poultry, requiring origination from approved establishments and port-of-entry reinspection. Pâtés and liver spreads are commercially prominent products in this category, often imported from European producers with established FSIS approval.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. Importers should verify that the product does not fall under a species-specific or preparation-specific heading before defaulting to the NES category. Misclassification can result in duty underpayment or overpayment and may trigger a customs inquiry. A licensed customs broker can help determine whether a liver pâté or spread belongs here or under a more specific SITC or HTS provision.
Liver that has been cooked, canned, smoked, salted, or incorporated into a spread or pâté generally qualifies as prepared or preserved. Raw or simply chilled/frozen liver would fall under different headings. The degree of processing and the presence of added ingredients (fat, seasoning, binders) are the key factors customs authorities examine when determining classification.
