Uncooked ham is pretty common in the U.S., too. Anything labeled "country ham" is dry cured, and is usually uncooked. Prosciutto generally isn't cooked, either.

In terms of imports, the U.S. has approved the importation of some Spanish hams (jamón ibérico and jamón serrano) that are cured but not cooked, as well as uncooked prosciutto from Italy. The regulatory hoops are a little more difficult and hard for small producers to justify, but there are a handful of producers who have received the appropriate approvals to export to the U.S.
