Last updated: April 2026 dataDry, uncooked pasta—including macaroni, spaghetti, and similar extruded or shaped wheat-based products that have not been stuffed or further prepared—is one of the most widely traded processed grain foods globally. Italy is the dominant supplier of premium durum wheat pasta to the US market, and the quality of the semolina used is a key commercial differentiator. FDA regulates imported pasta as a processed food, requiring Prior Notice and facility registration. Importers should be aware that pasta enriched with vitamins and minerals must comply with FDA's standards of identity for enriched macaroni products, which specify permissible nutrient levels.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
FDA has established standards of identity for enriched macaroni products that specify which nutrients must be added (such as thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid, and iron) and at what levels. Imported pasta labeled as 'enriched' must meet these standards exactly; products that deviate—either by omitting a required nutrient or adding non-permitted ingredients—may be refused entry or require relabeling.
This heading covers dry, uncooked pasta that has not been stuffed or otherwise prepared. Fresh or refrigerated pasta (which has higher moisture content and may contain eggs or other ingredients) and stuffed pasta (such as ravioli or tortellini) are classified under separate headings. The moisture content, shelf stability, and production method are the primary distinguishing factors.
