What HS 0207.27 covers
This HS code covers frozen turkey cuts and edible offal, representing a significant segment of the global poultry trade. These products offer extended shelf life, making them ideal for long-distance international shipping and bulk storage for food manufacturers, retailers, and food service providers. Major exporting nations, such as the United States and Brazil, benefit from large-scale processing facilities that can efficiently portion and freeze turkey meat. Importing countries often seek these frozen cuts to supplement domestic supply, meet year-round demand, or for use in processed food products. The trade requires robust cold chain management, adherence to international food safety standards, and efficient logistics to ensure product integrity from origin to destination, facilitating consistent availability across diverse 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).
