HS Code 0207.44 – Meat and edible offal; of ducks, cuts and offal, excluding fatty livers, fresh or chilled
HS code 0207.44 is the 6-digit subheading for meat and edible offal, of ducks, cuts and offal, excluding fatty livers, fresh or chilled. It is used for fresh duck breast, chilled duck legs, fresh duck wings, chilled duck hearts and fresh duck gizzards.
What HS 0207.44 covers
This category covers fresh or chilled duck cuts and edible offal, excluding the highly specific fatty livers (foie gras). These products are widely traded for their culinary versatility, catering to both retail consumers and the food service industry. The 'fresh or chilled' status means they have a shorter shelf life, demanding efficient and rapid cold chain logistics to preserve quality and safety. Exporters typically include countries with robust duck farming and processing sectors, such as France and China, while importers are often nations seeking to diversify their poultry offerings or meet specific consumer demands for fresh duck parts. This trade is driven by consumer preference for fresh meat and the convenience of pre-portioned cuts, requiring strict adherence to international food safety and hygiene standards.

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).
