HS code 0210.11 is the 6-digit subheading for meat, salted, in brine, dried or smoked, of swine, hams, shoulders and cuts thereof, with bone in. It is used for prosciutto di Parma (bone-in), jamón Serrano (bone-in), ibérico Ham (bone-in), smoked bone-in ham and salted bone-in pork shoulder.
What HS 0210.11 covers
This HS code covers hams, shoulders, and cuts thereof, of swine, that are salted, in brine, dried, or smoked, and importantly, still have the bone in. These products represent traditional cured pork items, often associated with gourmet and specialty food markets. The curing process, which can take months or even years, imparts distinct flavors and textures, making them highly prized in many cultures. Importers are typically specialty food distributors, restaurants, and high-end retailers, while exporters are countries with long-standing traditions in pork curing. Key trade considerations include strict food safety and veterinary regulations, origin labeling (e.g., Protected Designation of Origin), and proper packaging to maintain quality during transit. The value of these products is often tied to their artisanal production methods, specific breeds of pigs, and the duration of the curing process, making them premium commodities 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).
