Fresh or Chilled Sheep Carcasses & Half-Carcasses (Non-Lamb)

Whole and half carcasses of sheep other than lamb — typically older, heavier animals — enter under HTS 0204210000 and are subject to USDA FSIS reinspection at the US port of entry. Australia is the dominant supplier of this product, reflecting that country's large mature-sheep processing sector and established FSIS-approved export establishments. Tariff-rate-quota provisions govern duty rates, so importers should track quota fill levels closely. The distinction between lamb and other sheep carcasses is age- and weight-based and must be supported by documentation from the exporting establishment.
