This code specifically covers boneless bison meat that is fresh or chilled and explicitly excludes processed forms. Processed bison products fall under different HS classifications, while frozen boneless bison meat is classified separately under Chapter 02 frozen meat codes.
Shipments must comply with USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) regulations, including foreign establishment eligibility, import inspection at a USDA-approved port, and adherence to cold chain temperature requirements (maintained at or below 40°F) throughout transit.
Canada is the primary foreign source of fresh or chilled bison meat entering the US market, given geographic proximity and established bison ranching industries. Domestic US production also plays a significant role, with trade data reflecting cross-border flows between the two countries.
