Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark located between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans, with a small but strategically significant trade profile. Its primary exports include fish and seafood products, and it maintains customs arrangements separate from the European Union despite Denmark's EU membership. For US trade purposes, Greenland is tracked as a distinct trade partner under its own country code.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
No. Greenland withdrew from the European Economic Community in 1985 and is not part of the EU customs territory, meaning standard EU trade rules and tariffs do not apply to goods traded with Greenland.
Greenland's exports are dominated by fish and seafood products, particularly shrimp and halibut, along with some mineral resources.
The US Census Bureau assigns Greenland the country code 1010, and it must be listed separately from Denmark in import and export documentation.
