U.S. exports of Fresh or Chilled Pork Hams, Shoulders & Bone-In Cuts (HS 020312) totaled $124.0M in August 2026.
Last updated: August 2026 dataHams, shoulders, and their sub-cuts with bone in, shipped fresh or chilled, are a high-volume primal category dominated by Canada and Mexico—both USMCA partners—which benefits cross-border supply chains integrated with US pork processing. The US schedule separates processed from unprocessed cuts across six 10-digit lines, with hams and shoulders further split into their own dedicated lines. USDA FSIS reinspection is required at entry, and importers must ensure the foreign establishment holds current FSIS approval. The processed/unprocessed distinction is commercially significant because it affects both classification and the applicable duty treatment.

The schedule provides separate 10-digit lines for hams and their cuts (0203121010 and 0203129010) versus shoulders and their cuts (0203121020 and 0203129020), each further divided by processed versus unprocessed status. Correct classification requires the supplier's product specification to clearly identify the anatomical origin of the cut.
Under the relevant US tariff schedule notes, 'processed' generally refers to product that has undergone treatment beyond simple cutting, trimming, or chilling—such as curing, smoking, or other preparation. Importers should obtain written confirmation of the production method from the foreign supplier and verify the classification with a licensed customs broker, as misclassification between processed and unprocessed lines can result in duty underpayment.
