What HS 0407.19 covers
This code encompasses fresh, fertilized eggs for incubation from all bird species other than domestic hens. This includes eggs from ducks, geese, turkeys, quail, and various game birds. The trade in these eggs is typically handled by specialized hatcheries, game farms, and breeders, catering to niche poultry markets, game bird conservation, and exotic bird breeding. Key considerations involve species-specific incubation requirements, genetic purity, and stringent disease control protocols. International logistics must ensure optimal conditions to maintain the viability of these diverse avian embryos during transit.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
