Swine, live, other than pure-bred breeding animals, weighing 50kg or more.
Classification of hogs under HS 0103.92
Live hogs weighing 50kg or more that are not intended for pure-bred breeding purposes are classified under HS code 010392. This classification is found within Chapter 1 of the Harmonized System, which covers all live animals. Heading 0103 is specific to live swine. The structure of this heading differentiates between pure-bred breeding animals (010310) and other swine. For the "other" category, the classification is further divided by the weight of the animal. Subheading 010392 is reserved for animals weighing 50 kilograms or more. This weight threshold is significant in international trade as it typically distinguishes between feeder pigs and market-ready hogs or mature breeding stock that does not meet the "pure-bred" certification requirements. Classification under this code requires adherence to strict veterinary and sanitary regulations, as the movement of live swine is heavily monitored for disease control.

Codes often confused with 0103.92
Common mistake. Hogs are often misclassified under 010310 if the importer incorrectly assumes all breeding-capable animals belong there; however, 010310 requires official "pure-bred" certification. They are also confused with 010391, which is for swine weighing less than 50kg. Furthermore, once an animal is slaughtered, it must be classified under Chapter 2 (0203) for meat of swine, rather than Chapter 1.

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).
