U.S. exports of frozen bone-in bovine cuts (HS 020220) totaled $53.2M in July 2026.
Importers of Frozen Bone-In Bovine Cuts paid $383K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 26% on $1.5M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataFrozen bone-in beef cuts — including ribs, chuck, and loin — enter the US only after USDA FSIS reinspection at the port of entry from an approved foreign establishment, and many lines under this heading are subject to tariff-rate quota treatment that sharply increases the effective duty rate above quota volume. The US schedule separates high-quality cuts processed under specific trade notes from commodity bone-in cuts (0202206000, 0202208000), and TRQ eligibility is determined at the 10-digit level, making precise classification essential for quota management. Nicaragua and Costa Rica lead import supply, with Australia also a significant source.

TRQ treatment applies at the 10-digit level, with in-quota rates significantly lower than over-quota rates. Lines such as 0202201000 and 0202205025/5035/5045/5090 reference US Note 3, which governs TRQ eligibility for specific high-quality cuts. Importers must track quota fill levels through CBP and USDA and time entries accordingly, as over-quota shipments face substantially higher duties.
'Processed' in this context refers to cuts that have undergone specific treatments — such as aging, marinating, or other preparation — as defined in the applicable US tariff notes, not simply cutting or trimming. The processed/not-processed distinction determines which 10-digit line applies and, critically, whether TRQ treatment is available. Importers should review the relevant US additional notes carefully and confirm the processing status with their supplier before entry. Admissibility for imported beef is complex — consult a licensed customs broker and verify FSIS establishment approval before shipment.
