Food preparations, pasta, stuffed (with meat or other substances), whether or not cooked or otherwise prepared.
Classification of ravioli under HS 1902.20
Ravioli falls under HS code 1902.20. This code is part of Chapter 19, which covers preparations of cereals, flour, starch, or milk. Heading 1902 specifically identifies pasta, whether or not cooked or stuffed. Subheading 1902.20 is designated for stuffed pasta, which includes products like ravioli, tortellini, and cannelloni. The classification is based on the fact that the pasta contains a filling, regardless of whether that filling consists of meat, cheese, vegetables, or a combination thereof. The processing state—whether the ravioli is fresh, chilled, frozen, or dried—does not change the primary classification under 1902.20, provided the pasta is stuffed. According to the Explanatory Notes to the Harmonized System, these products are usually made from semolina or wheat flour dough and are filled with various substances. The presence of meat in the filling does not move the product to Chapter 16 (Prepared Meat) unless the meat content exceeds 20% by weight of the entire preparation, though most standard ravioli products remain firmly in 1902.20. This code ensures that stuffed pasta products are grouped together for tariff and statistical purposes, separate from plain pasta or other cereal-based food preparations.

Codes often confused with 1902.20
Common mistake. Ravioli is often confused with 1902.11, which covers pasta containing eggs but not stuffed, or 1902.19, which is for other types of unstuffed pasta. Another common misclassification occurs with 1902.30, which is reserved for other pasta products like instant noodles. If the product is a complete ready-meal where ravioli is only a component, it might be classified under 2106.90, though 1902.20 is the standard for the pasta itself.

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).
