Classification of frozen pork liver under HS 0206.41
Frozen pork liver is classified under HS code 0206.41, a specific subheading within the category for edible offal. Heading 0206 covers edible offal of various animals, and the 0206.4 series is dedicated to frozen swine offal. Subheading 0206.41 is a specific named category for livers, which, according to the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI), takes precedence over general entries like 0206.49 (other offal). Livers are biologically distinct from skeletal muscle (meat) and are classified as offal due to their status as internal organs. To qualify for this code, the liver must be from a domestic or wild pig, it must be fit for human consumption, and it must be preserved by freezing. The freezing process involves lowering the temperature to a point where the water within the tissue forms ice crystals, effectively halting biological decay. This classification is used globally to track the trade of nutrient-dense organ meats. It is important to note that this code only applies to raw, frozen livers. If the liver is prepared into a food product, such as a liver spread or pâté, or if it is cooked, it is excluded from Chapter 2 and must be classified under Chapter 16, specifically 1602.20 for liver of any animal.

Codes often confused with 0206.41
Common mistake. Often confused with 0206.30, which covers fresh or chilled swine livers. It may also be confused with 0206.49, which is the residual category for other frozen swine offal. If the liver is intended for pharmaceutical use and not for human consumption, it might fall under 0510.00. Furthermore, liver pâté is classified under 1602.20, not 0206.41.

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).
