Potted Chicken Spread from Japan
Potted chicken spread is a smooth paste made from cooked chicken meat blended with seasonings, preserved in jars for direct consumption. It is classified under tariff item 1602.39.99 as 'Other' prepared or preserved poultry meat, as it is not liver-specific, not a prepared meal, and the chicken content predominates.

Import Tips
• Ensure the chicken meat content exceeds 20% by weight to qualify for Chapter 16 classification
• Verify the product is not homogenized for infants, as that would fall under subheading 1602.10
• Keep ingredient weights documented for customs verification
