Last updated: August 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.

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.
