HTS CHAPTER

Chapter 16: Preparations of Meat or Fish

HTS Chapter 16 covers preparations of meat, fish, or crustaceans, encompassing a variety of processed food products that are essential for numerous culinary applications. This chapter includes items such as canned seafood, frozen fish fillets, meat extracts, and ready-to-eat meat dishes. Common examples include tuna salad, beef jerky, and shrimp cocktail, all of which are popular in the food service and retail sectors. Industries that frequently import these goods range from food processing and catering to grocery and convenience stores. Importers should be aware of regulatory considerations such as compliance with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) standards, proper labeling requirements, and potential tariff classifications, which can affect import duties. Additionally, some products may be subject to restrictions based on health and safety regulations, making it crucial for business owners to stay informed of evolving customs regulations and ensure all necessary documentation is in order to facilitate smooth import processes.
