About Horses Trade Data
This page tracks global trade flows for Horses (FAO code 1096) across the top 50 agricultural trading nations. Cumulative export value for 2018–2023 reached $20.0B, while global imports totaled $20.6B. The scale of this tariff-sensitive commodity matters because shifts in US import duties, Section 301 actions, or bilateral free trade agreements can move prices and supply lines in weeks rather than years.
China; Hong Kong SAR leads global exports of Horses, while China; Hong Kong SAR is the largest importer. US tariff classification depends on the exact product form (raw, processed, packaged), so importers should map each shipment to a specific HTS code before quoting landed cost. Trade balance between exporting and importing nations reveals structural dependencies that tariff policy can either reinforce or disrupt.
Use this data to benchmark supplier countries, estimate market concentration, and anticipate how tariff changes ripple through Horses supply chains. All figures come from FAO FAOSTAT Trade: Crops and Livestock (TCL), converted from FAO 1000 USD reporting units to USD. Combine the trend table, top exporter/importer rankings, and the linked US HTS chapter to build a complete picture of where Horses moves, how much is traded, and what tariffs apply at the US border.
