Last updated: July 2026 dataFrozen lamb carcasses and half-carcasses enter under a single 10-digit line (0204300000) and are subject to tariff-rate-quota treatment, with duty rates varying significantly above and below the annual quota threshold. USDA FSIS reinspection at the US port of entry is required for all shipments from approved foreign establishments. Australia and New Zealand are the leading suppliers, with Chile, Uruguay, and Spain also active — a supply base that gives importers meaningful origin flexibility compared with fresh product. The frozen format extends shelf life and allows more strategic quota-year entry timing.

Yes. The frozen format allows importers to hold product in cold storage and time entries to coincide with quota openings or periods of lower fill, whereas fresh carcasses must enter quickly due to shelf-life constraints. This makes frozen carcasses a common vehicle for quota arbitrage strategies.
Foreign establishments must be listed on USDA FSIS's approved foreign establishment database for the relevant species and product type. The exporting country's food safety system must also have been determined to be equivalent to the US system. Importers should verify establishment approval status before contracting, as changes to approval can disrupt shipments.
