Fresh or Chilled Bone-In Pork Hams, Shoulders & Cuts

The US schedule separates processed bone-in cuts (e.g., injected, marinated, or otherwise treated) from unprocessed fresh or chilled cuts. Hams and cuts that have been processed enter under 0203121010, while unprocessed hams and cuts use 0203129010. Misclassifying between these lines can result in duty discrepancies, so importers should confirm the processing status with the foreign supplier before filing entry.

USDA FSIS must approve the foreign establishment producing the product, and shipments are subject to reinspection at the US port of entry. The foreign government must also certify that the product meets US standards, and the importer should ensure the establishment number appears on the packaging.
