Last updated: August 2026 dataSalted, brined, dried, or smoked pork bellies — including bacon — are among the most commercially active cured-pork categories entering the US market. USDA FSIS reinspection is required at the port of entry, and shipments must originate from FSIS-approved foreign establishments. The US schedule distinguishes bacon of swine (0210120020) from other salted, brined, dried, or smoked belly cuts (0210120040). Canada and Mexico dominate supply, with Italy, Poland, and Lithuania representing significant European sources, particularly for specialty pancetta and artisan-style products.

The US tariff schedule separates bacon of swine (0210120020) from other belly cuts that are salted, brined, dried, or smoked but not classified as bacon (0210120040). The distinction turns on the specific processing method and cut presentation; importers should confirm classification with a licensed customs broker before entry.
Shipments must originate from a USDA FSIS-approved foreign establishment and be accompanied by a foreign government health certificate. FSIS reinspects each shipment at the US port of entry. EU establishments must appear on the FSIS-approved list, and any labeling must comply with USDA requirements before the product can enter commerce.
