Fresh and chilled whole pig carcasses and half-carcasses enter under a single 10-digit line (0203110000), making correct temperature-state documentation — distinguishing fresh/chilled from frozen — essential at the time of entry. USDA FSIS reinspection is required at the port of entry, and the exporting establishment must appear on the FSIS approved-country and establishment list. Italy is the leading supplier under this heading, reflecting European specialty pork production, particularly heritage and breed-specific carcasses destined for niche processors and charcuterie operations in the US.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Shipments must originate from an Italian establishment on the USDA FSIS approved-establishment list, be accompanied by a foreign government inspection certificate, and undergo FSIS reinspection at a US port of entry with adequate refrigerated facilities. Italy must also maintain its FSIS-approved country equivalence determination for pork.
Fresh/chilled carcasses (020311) and frozen carcasses (020321) are separate HS headings with distinct tariff lines and potentially different duty rates. Temperature at the time of export and import — verified by shipping records and port inspection — determines which heading applies, and misclassification can trigger reclassification and additional duties.
