Last updated: August 2026 dataBone-in beef and veal cuts shipped fresh or chilled — including ribs, chuck, loin, hip, flank, and plate — are among the most commercially active lines in the US beef import schedule, with Mexico and Canada the leading suppliers. The heading's tariff structure is notably granular: separate lines distinguish high-quality processed cuts, TRQ-eligible cuts by primal (rib, chuck, loin, hip, flank/plate), veal cuts, and bison, making precise cut identification essential to correct classification. USDA FSIS reinspection is required at entry, and TRQ quota fill timing can shift effective duty costs significantly across the quota year. Australia is also a meaningful supplier, adding origin-management complexity for importers balancing quota allocations across multiple source countries.

The US tariff schedule assigns separate lines to specific primals — rib, chuck, loin, hip, and flank/plate — for TRQ-eligible, non-processed bone-in cuts. Misidentifying the primal can result in classification under the wrong line, potentially at a different duty rate or outside TRQ eligibility. Importers should obtain detailed cut sheets from the foreign establishment and confirm classification with a licensed customs broker before entry.
Bison (American buffalo) bone-in cuts have a dedicated tariff line (0201208010) separate from other bovine cuts. Importers must ensure that product described as bison is correctly identified by species in the commercial invoice and FSIS documentation, as misclassification between bison and cattle lines can trigger both duty and admissibility issues.
