The single US tariff line covering this product is 0204210000, and the heading carries tariff-rate-quota treatment that affects the applicable duty rate above quota thresholds. Australia is the dominant supplier, making cold-chain integrity and TRQ timing central planning considerations for importers.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Shipments must originate from a USDA FSIS-approved foreign establishment and be accompanied by a foreign inspection certificate. FSIS reinspects the product at the US port of entry, and importers must also file entry documentation with CBP, including a declaration of the applicable tariff-rate-quota category.
Fresh sheep carcasses are subject to TRQ treatment, meaning a lower in-quota duty rate applies up to a specified annual volume. Shipments above that threshold face a higher over-quota rate. Importers should monitor quota fill levels closely, especially given that Australia is the primary supplier and quota consumption can accelerate quickly during peak shipping seasons.
