Export-heavy partner mix
Denmark in the export-led third
Exports are 63% of total ag trade for Denmark, an upper-third export share among FAO partners in this extract.
Denmark is export-led (63% of trade is exports); concentration in the top-exports table is the first place to watch for tariff shock. Leading export: Cheese from whole cow milk; leading import: Wine. US MFN duties follow the product's HTS classification, not origin; Denmark-origin shipments may still qualify for preferential Special rates under applicable FTAs.
