Last updated: April 2026 dataCured, cooked, and otherwise prepared pork hams and ham cuts are among the most commercially significant prepared-meat imports, with the US schedule distinguishing products by boning status, cooking method, container type, and container weight — boned and cooked hams in airtight containers are further split at the 1 kg threshold (1602412020 vs. 1602412040). Canada leads supply, with Poland, Italy, and Denmark reflecting strong European charcuterie traditions; Italian prosciutto and Danish cooked hams are prominent commercial examples. All shipments require USDA FSIS reinspection from an approved foreign establishment. Importers should note that hams containing cereal or vegetable ingredients classify under 1602411000 rather than the boned/cooked airtight lines.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The US schedule splits boned and cooked hams in airtight containers into two lines based on whether the net weight is under 1 kg (1602412020) or 1 kg or more (1602412040). This distinction affects the applicable duty rate, so accurate net-weight declarations on commercial invoices and entry documents are essential.
Not necessarily. Dry-cured, uncooked hams that are not boned and cooked in an airtight container typically fall under 1602419000 (hams and cuts NESOI, prepared or preserved) rather than the airtight-container lines. The curing method, cooking status, and packaging format all drive the correct 10-digit classification, and FSIS admissibility for dry-cured products involves additional country-specific eligibility determinations.
