About meat; salted, in brine, dried or smoked, of swine, hams, shoulders and cuts thereof, with bone in

HS code 021011 covers the import and export of salted, brined, dried, or smoked pork hams, shoulders, and other cuts with the bone still intact. This is a crucial segment of the global meat trade, as pork is a staple protein source in many regions. The production and trade of these preserved pork products play a significant role in the broader food and agricultural economy.

Production process

The production of 021011 items typically involves a multi-step curing and preservation process. First, the pork cuts are salted, either dry-cured or brined, to draw out moisture and inhibit bacterial growth. They may then be smoked over hardwood fires to further preserve the meat and impart distinctive flavors. Finally, the cured and smoked pork is often dried to reduce moisture content and extend shelf life.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the 021011 industry include live swine, salt, and wood for smoking. Specialized equipment such as curing chambers, smokehouses, and drying racks are also essential. Producers may also require packaging materials, transportation, and storage facilities to ready the preserved pork products for export.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the 021011 industry are various preserved pork cuts, including hams, shoulders, and other bone-in pork products. These items are widely consumed in domestic markets and also find significant demand in the global trade of 020300 Meat of swine, fresh, chilled or frozen, 160100 Sausages and similar products, of meat, meat offal or blood; food preparations based on these products, and 160249 Meat, meat offal or blood; preparations thereof, n.e.c. in heading no. 1602.
