U.S. imports of Fresh or Chilled Bovine Carcasses & Half-Carcasses (HS 020110) totaled $4.1M in August 2026, imported from 4 countries.
Importers of Fresh or Chilled Bovine Carcasses & Half-Carcasses paid $50K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 1.20% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataWhole and split bovine carcasses shipped fresh or chilled — including veal — must clear USDA FSIS reinspection at the port of entry before entering US commerce. The US tariff schedule subdivides this heading by species (veal versus other bovines) and by TRQ eligibility under US Note 3, creating six active tariff lines that determine the applicable duty rate based on quota status. Canada leads supply, with France and the Netherlands also notable sources, reflecting European veal trade flows. Cold-chain integrity from slaughter through port arrival is a compliance prerequisite, as temperature excursions can trigger FSIS rejection independent of documentation.

43 import shipments a month
US Note 3 establishes a tariff-rate quota under which qualifying carcasses enter at a lower in-quota duty rate up to a set volume threshold. Importers must claim the appropriate TRQ line at entry and ensure their quota allocation is available; carcasses that exceed the quota or do not qualify for TRQ treatment are classified under the NESOI lines at the higher over-quota rate.
Each shipment must be accompanied by a foreign inspection certificate from an FSIS-approved establishment in an eligible country, and the carcasses are subject to reinspection at a FSIS-designated import inspection facility. Documentation must identify the establishment number, slaughter date, and temperature records. Shipments failing reinspection are refused entry and must be re-exported or destroyed.
