HS code 0207.43 is the 6-digit subheading for meat and edible offal, of ducks, fatty livers (foie gras), fresh or chilled. It is used for fresh duck foie gras, chilled duck liver, fresh whole duck liver, chilled duck liver lobes and fresh raw foie gras.
What HS 0207.43 covers
This specific HS code is dedicated to fresh or chilled fatty livers of ducks, commonly known as foie gras. This is a high-value, luxury food product primarily traded for gourmet cuisine and high-end retail markets. The production of foie gras involves specialized feeding techniques (gavage), which can be subject to ethical debates and import restrictions in some countries. Major exporters are typically nations with long-standing traditions in foie gras production, such as France and Hungary, while importers are often countries with a strong fine dining culture and affluent consumer base. The trade requires meticulous handling and rapid transport due to its perishable nature and high value, with strict adherence to sanitary and veterinary controls. Its niche market and unique production methods make it a distinct commodity in international trade.

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).
