Pork, Salted, Brined, Dried, or Smoked, Not Elsewhere Specified

Preserved pork products not captured by the specific headings for hams, shoulders, or bellies — such as jowls, ears, tails, feet, and other cured cuts — fall into this residual category, which serves ethnic food markets, specialty charcuterie producers, and food-service processors. USDA FSIS admissibility requirements apply in full: the foreign establishment must be approved, and the product must pass port-of-entry reinspection. USDA APHIS regional eligibility rules for pork also apply, particularly for bone-in items within this heading. Because the category is a catch-all, importers should take care to confirm that the specific cut or product type is not more precisely classifiable under a dedicated heading, as misclassification can affect duty treatment and entry processing.
