Meat and edible offal, of geese, fatty livers (foie gras), fresh or chilled.
Classification of goose liver under HS 0207.53
Goose liver, specifically fatty liver known as foie gras, is classified under HS code 0207.53. This code is situated within Chapter 2, which pertains to meat and edible meat offal. Heading 0207 specifically covers meat and edible offal of poultry (chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, and guinea fowls). Within this heading, the 53 suffix identifies fresh or chilled fatty livers of geese. The classification depends strictly on the state of the product (fresh or chilled) and the specific biological origin (goose). This code is used for high-value culinary products that have not been cooked or preserved beyond simple refrigeration. The distinction is important because fatty livers are treated differently in trade statistics and health inspections compared to standard poultry offal.

Codes often confused with 0207.53
Common mistake. Goose liver is often misclassified under HS code 1602.39, which covers prepared or preserved poultry meat and offal. If the liver has been cooked, canned, or made into a terrine or pate, it must move to Chapter 16. Additionally, frozen goose fatty liver is classified under HS code 0207.54, not 0207.53, as the latter is strictly for fresh or chilled items.

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).
