Last updated: December 2025 dataPurebred breeding swine are a specialized trade category driven by genetics programs that supply commercial pork producers with high-performance bloodlines. The Netherlands and Denmark — both global leaders in swine genetics — are the primary suppliers to the US market, reflecting the dominance of European breeding companies in developing elite lines such as Duroc, Landrace, and Yorkshire crosses. A single 10-digit line (0103100000) covers all live purebred breeding swine, and USDA APHIS import permits along with health certification from an approved foreign establishment are required for entry. Importers should verify that pedigree records satisfy both APHIS documentation requirements and any breed registry standards.

Both countries host major multinational swine genetics companies that have invested heavily in developing elite commercial lines. Their breeding programs produce animals with high feed efficiency and lean-meat yield, making them the preferred source for US pork producers seeking genetic improvement.
Importers typically need official pedigree certificates from a recognized breed registry, along with USDA APHIS import permits and veterinary health certificates. CBP may request these records to confirm the animal qualifies for the purebred breeding classification rather than a commercial swine line.
