Frozen Boneless Certified Organic Beef (US Note 3, Unprocessed)

Beef must be certified under the USDA National Organic Program (NOP) or an equivalent recognized foreign organic certification program. Documentation from an accredited certifying agent must accompany the shipment.

Yes. In addition to standard USDA FSIS import inspection requirements, certified organic beef imports must include valid organic certificates. The certifying body must be accredited under NOP or a recognized equivalency arrangement.

The organic designation itself does not automatically confer a different duty rate; rates are determined by the HTS classification and applicable trade agreements. However, this separate subheading allows CBP to track organic beef imports distinctly from conventional product.
