Classification of foie gras under HS 0207.53
Foie gras from geese is classified under HS code 0207.53. This is found in Chapter 2, which covers meat and edible meat offal. Heading 0207 is dedicated to poultry meat and offal. Subheading 0207.53 is a specific category for the fatty livers of geese in a fresh or chilled state. To qualify, the liver must meet technical definitions of 'fatty liver,' typically involving a specific weight and fat content resulting from specialized feeding. The 'fresh or chilled' designation means the product is kept just above freezing. If the liver were frozen, it would move to 0207.54. It is critical to distinguish this raw product from prepared foie gras products like pâtés, which are classified under Heading 1602. This precise classification helps in applying specific luxury tariffs and monitoring trade for health and animal welfare regulations.

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).
