Notes for Section IV — PREPARED FOODSTUFFS; BEVERAGES, SPIRITS AND VINEGAR; TOBACCO AND MANUFACTURED TOBACCO SUBSTITUTES; PRODUCTS, WHETHER OR NOT CONTAINING NICOTINE, INTENDED FOR INHALATION WITHOUT COMBUSTION; OTHER NICOTINE CONTAINING PRODUCTS INTENDED FOR THE INTAKE OF NICOTINE INTO THE HUMAN BODY
1. In this Section the term “pellets” means products which have been agglomerated either directly by compression or by the addition of a binder in a proportion not exceeding 3% by weight.
Notes for Chapter 16 — Preparations of meat, of fish, of crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates, or of insects
Notes
1. This Chapter does not cover meat, meat offal, fish, crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates, as well as insects, prepared or preserved by the processes specified in Chapter 2 or 3, Note 6 to Chapter 4 or in heading 05.04.
2. Food preparations fall in this Chapter provided that they contain more than 20% by weight of sausage, meat, meat offal, blood, insects, fish or crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates, or any combination thereof. In cases where the preparation contains two or more of the products mentioned above, it is classified in the heading of Chapter 16 corresponding to the component or components which predominate by weight. These provisions do not apply to the stuffed products of heading 19.02 or to the preparations of heading 21.03 or 21.04.
Subheading Notes
1. For the purposes of subheading 1602.10, the expression “homogenised preparations” means preparations of meat, meat offal, blood or insects, finely homogenised, put up for retail sale as food suitable for infants or young children or for dietetic purposes, in containers of a net weight content not exceeding 250 g. For the application of this definition no account is to be taken of small quantities of any ingredients which may have been added to the preparation for seasoning, preservation or other purposes. These preparations may contain a small quantity of visible pieces of meat, meat offal or insects. This subheading takes precedence over all other subheadings of heading 16.02.
2. The fish, crustaceans, molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates specified in the subheadings of heading 16.04 or 16.05 under their common names only, are of the same species as those mentioned in Chapter 3 under the same name.

2024: as reported by partner countries
Vietnam has not filed 2024 yet, so this is rebuilt from what its 19 largest trading partners reported about trade with Vietnam (85% of Vietnam's trade). Not the same measure as the figures above — compare it only with the 2023 row beside it.
| Flow | 2023 | 2024 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exports | 101,470 USD | 86,475 USD | -15% |
| Imports | 69,671 USD | 92,804 USD | +33% |
- Exports 2023: partners reported 101,470 USD where Vietnam reported 605,115 USD — 0.17× on this measure.
- Imports 2023: partners reported 69,671 USD where Vietnam reported 58,981 USD — 1.18× on this measure.
The gap is not a rounding difference: goods re-exported through Hong Kong or Singapore, a different heading chosen by the importing customs, and origin-based versus destination-based attribution all pull the two measures apart. Use the year-on-year change, not the level.

Corresponding US tariff lines
Six digits are identical worldwide under the HS Convention, so 1602.90 is the same subheading in both schedules. What differs is how each country splits it: below are the 3 US lines under 1602.90.
| US HTS code | Description | General duty |
|---|---|---|
| 1602.90.10.00 | Other, including preparations of blood of any animal › Frog meat(kg) | 2.7% |
| 1602.90.91.60 | Other, including preparations of blood of any animal › Other › Canned(kg) | 6.4% |
| 1602.90.91.80 | Other, including preparations of blood of any animal › Other › Other(kg) | 6.4% |
Additional Chapter 99 duties apply to goods of Vietnam
- 9903.02.69 +20% — The duty provided in the applicable subheading + 20%
- 9903.05.84 +12.5% — The duty provided in the applicable subheading + 12.5%
These are added to the General duty above, not in place of it. Whether a given article falls inside their scope — and the exclusion lists — is set out in the U.S. notes to Chapter 99, which are prose and not machine-readable, so this site does not assign them per code. Check the official schedule before quoting a landed cost.

The General column is the rate for Vietnam: the Special column lists US preference programmes (GSP, USMCA, KORUS…) and Vietnam is in none of them. Source: USITC Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States — 2026 HTS Revision 13. For reference only — classification on import is decided by US Customs, and anti-dumping, countervailing and Section 232/301 measures are not covered here.
Corresponding Japanese tariff lines
1602.90 is the same subheading in both schedules (six digits are identical worldwide under the HS Convention). Vietnamese goods can enter Japan under four parallel preference routes — the columns below — and the exporter picks whichever C/O gives the better rate.
| Line | Description | MFN | VJEPA | AJCEP | CPTPP | RCEP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1602.90-100 | Other, including preparations of blood of any animal › 1 Guts, bladders and stomachs, whole and pieces thereof, simply boiled in water(KG) | Free | Free | Free | Free | Free |
| 1602.90-210 | Other, including preparations of blood of any animal › 2 Other › (1) Containing meat or meat offal of bovine animals or swine(KG) | 21.3% | — | 21.3% | 3.8% | 21.3% |

| 1602.90-290 | Other, including preparations of blood of any animal › B Other(KG) | 6% | 3% | 6% | 1% | 6% |
MFN is the lowest of the schedule's General/Temporary/WTO columns (hover to see all three). The preference columns require the matching certificate of origin; an em dash means that agreement gives no preference for the line.
