Egg Spaghetti from Japan

Uncooked spaghetti made exclusively from durum wheat semolina and chicken eggs, shaped into long thin strands. This falls under HTS 1902.11.20 as it is pasta containing eggs, not stuffed or otherwise prepared beyond basic mixing and extrusion. It is a staple for Italian cuisine, typically boiled before serving.

Import Tips

• Verify egg content exceeds the minimum threshold via lab testing to confirm classification under the 'containing eggs' subheading

• Provide certificates of origin and ingredient lists to avoid misclassification as egg-free pasta under 1902.11.40

• Ensure packaging labels comply with FDA pasta standards to prevent customs holds on undeclared allergens
