What you need to know to export Chapter 16

Chapter 16 divides into five headings: sausages and meat products (1601), prepared or preserved meat (1602), meat extracts and juices (1603), prepared or preserved fish (1604), and prepared crustaceans, molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates (1605). Each heading has its own tariff rates, origin rules and phytosanitary requirements depending on the destination country.

The United States is your largest single market, followed by Japan and the United Kingdom. Each has different tariff schedules, phytosanitary standards and labelling requirements. Research your target country's specific rules before committing to production or shipment.
