What HS 0207.25 covers
This HS code covers whole, unprocessed turkeys that have been frozen, playing a crucial role in global food supply chains. These goods are typically traded in bulk for retail sale, food service, and further processing, offering an extended shelf life compared to fresh alternatives. Major exporters include the United States and Brazil, leveraging their large-scale poultry operations, while significant importers are often countries with high consumer demand for turkey, especially during holiday seasons, or those lacking sufficient domestic production. Key considerations in this trade involve maintaining a robust cold chain to ensure product quality and safety, adherence to international veterinary standards, and managing fluctuating demand. The convenience and longevity of frozen whole turkeys make them a staple in international commerce for both developed and emerging markets.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
