HS code for Fresh egg pasta: 1902.11

Food preparations, pasta, containing eggs, uncooked, not stuffed or otherwise prepared.

Classification of fresh egg pasta under HS 1902.11

The classification of fresh egg pasta under HS code 1902.11 is governed by the General Rules for the Interpretation (GRI) of the Harmonized System. This specific code falls under Chapter 19, which is dedicated to preparations of cereals, flour, starch, or milk, and specifically to bakers' wares. Heading 1902 covers pasta in all its forms, whether or not cooked or stuffed, including spaghetti, macaroni, noodles, lasagna, and gnocchi. Subheading 1902.11 is specifically reserved for pasta that is uncooked and contains eggs. The presence of eggs is a critical determinant; it distinguishes this product from 1902.19, which covers pasta without egg content. To be classified here, the pasta must not be stuffed with any filling (such as meat, cheese, or vegetables) and must not be "otherwise prepared," which typically refers to pasta that has been pre-cooked, steamed, or dried in a way that alters its basic nature. Fresh egg pasta is usually characterized by its high moisture content and the inclusion of whole eggs or egg yolks in the dough, providing a distinct texture and color. The classification remains consistent whether the pasta is sold in a chilled state for immediate consumption or in a dried format, provided the "uncooked" and "egg-containing" criteria are met. Importers must be prepared to provide technical data sheets or ingredient percentages to confirm the egg content, as this affects the duty rates in many jurisdictions.

Codes often confused with 1902.11

Common mistake. A frequent error is classifying fresh egg pasta under 1902.20. This code is specifically for stuffed pasta, such as ravioli, tortellini, or cannelloni. If the pasta contains a filling, it must move to 1902.20 regardless of egg content in the dough. Another common mistake is using 1902.30, which is for "other pasta" that has been pre-cooked or otherwise prepared (like instant noodles). Additionally, some may confuse these preparations with flour-based mixes in 1901, but 1902 is more specific for formed pasta shapes.

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).
