U.S. exports of Dairy Products and Eggs (End-Use 00310) totaled $694.0M in August 2026, exported to 141 countries.
Last updated: August 2026 dataWhey, cheese, butter, nonfat dry milk, and shell eggs collectively make up the US dairy and egg export portfolio, a sector where tariff-rate quotas in destination markets frequently cap preferential-duty access volumes. USDA FSIS certification is required for dairy products and egg products exported to many markets, while shell eggs may additionally require USDA AMS grading certificates depending on the buyer's specifications. Lactose and whey protein concentrates — byproducts of cheese manufacturing — have grown as globally traded ingredients for food processing and infant formula. Exporters should confirm destination-country import permit and cold-chain requirements well in advance, as dairy and egg shipments are highly perishable and non-compliant documentation can result in costly delays.

End-Use codes describe different products on the import and export sides. Cross-direction imports are not shown for this slug.
Many countries allocate a fixed volume of dairy imports at a lower in-quota duty rate, with sharply higher out-of-quota rates applying above that threshold; US exporters must track quota fill rates in key markets and time shipments accordingly, or accept the higher duty cost when quotas are exhausted.
Processed egg products (liquid, frozen, or dried) fall under FSIS jurisdiction and require an export health certificate from an FSIS-inspected plant; shell eggs are not FSIS-regulated for export but may require a USDA AMS grade certificate or a destination-country veterinary health certificate, so requirements differ meaningfully by product form.
