Food preparations, pasta, containing eggs, uncooked, not stuffed or otherwise prepared.
Classification of egg pasta under HS 1902.11
Egg pasta is classified under HS code 1902.11. This heading covers pasta that is uncooked, not stuffed, and not otherwise prepared, specifically containing eggs. The presence of egg as an ingredient is the primary factor for this sub-classification. Chapter 19 deals with preparations of cereals, flour, starch, or milk, and heading 1902 is dedicated to pasta products such as spaghetti, macaroni, noodles, and lasagna. The classification remains 1902.11 whether the pasta is fresh, chilled, or dried, provided it has not undergone a cooking process or been filled with other substances like meat, cheese, or vegetables. The inclusion of eggs must be a characteristic of the dough itself. This code is part of a hierarchical structure where the presence of specific ingredients (like eggs) or the state of the product (cooked vs. uncooked) determines the final four-digit or six-digit code. Proper classification ensures that the correct tariffs are applied, as egg-based pasta often carries different trade regulations compared to standard wheat pasta.

Codes often confused with 1902.11
Common mistake. Egg pasta is frequently confused with HS code 1902.19, which is for pasta that does not contain eggs. Another common misclassification occurs with 1902.20, which is reserved for stuffed pasta (like ravioli or tortellini), regardless of whether the dough contains eggs. Furthermore, if the egg pasta has been pre-cooked or otherwise prepared (such as in a ready-to-eat meal), it must be classified under 1902.30.

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).
