US trade law distinguishes bison (Bison bison) from domestic cattle (Bos taurus/indicus) for tariff purposes, assigning bison its own 10-digit subheading to reflect differences in market characteristics, production volumes, and trade patterns.
Bison meat generally does not fall under the same TRQ provisions as cattle beef under US Note 3. Importers should consult the current USITC tariff schedule to confirm applicable duty rates and any quota arrangements.
Importers must provide species verification documentation confirming the product is bison, along with standard USDA FSIS import inspection certificates, a commercial invoice, and a packing list specifying the bone-in nature and fresh or chilled condition.
