Uncooked Pasta Without Eggs, Not Stuffed or Otherwise Prepared

Egg-free dry pasta — the most widely traded pasta format globally — is classified under heading 190219, with the US schedule mirroring the egg-pasta structure: EU-origin lines (1902192010, 1902192020, 1902192030) reflect inward processing and export refund distinctions, a non-EU line (1902192090) covers all other origins, and line 1902194000 captures egg-free pasta sold with sauce. Italy leads US import supply, followed by Canada and Mexico, with Thailand and China also significant sources, reflecting the growth of Asian-style noodle products classified here. FDA review applies to all shipments as processed food preparations.
