Last updated: April 2026 dataFrozen boneless beef is one of the most granularly subdivided categories in the US beef tariff schedule, with lines covering specific primal cuts — including rib, chuck, loin, brisket, hip, and flank — as well as certified organic product (0202305091 and 0202308015) and processed versus unprocessed distinctions, all subject to tariff-rate-quota treatment. Australia and Brazil are the dominant suppliers, with New Zealand, Uruguay, and Paraguay rounding out a Southern Hemisphere-concentrated supply base that reflects grass-fed production systems and counter-seasonal availability. USDA FSIS reinspection at the port of entry is required for all shipments from approved establishments. Importers must carefully match the specific cut and processing status to the correct 10-digit line to avoid quota misallocation.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. The US schedule includes dedicated lines for certified organic frozen boneless bovine meat — specifically 0202305091 and 0202308015 — which are distinct from conventional boneless beef lines. Importers must ensure USDA organic certification documentation accompanies the shipment to support classification under these lines.
Australia, New Zealand, Uruguay, and Paraguay have large grass-fed cattle industries with production cycles that are counter-seasonal to the US, providing year-round supply continuity. Their established FSIS-approved processing infrastructure and long-standing quota allocations reinforce their position, while Brazil's scale and competitive pricing make it a major volume supplier alongside Australia.
