Australian and New Zealand cattle are typically slaughtered in the Southern Hemisphere autumn and winter (roughly March through August), which is when processing capacity peaks and export volumes tend to be highest. US importers sourcing manufacturing trim or retail cuts from these origins often plan procurement and TRQ utilization around this seasonal production window, contrasting with Northern Hemisphere suppliers whose cycles are offset by roughly six months.
To use lines 0202305091 or 0202308015, the product must be certified organic under a certification body recognized by USDA's National Organic Program, and the organic certificate must accompany the entry documentation. FSIS reinspection requirements apply equally to organic and conventional product. Importers should also confirm that the foreign establishment is on the FSIS-approved list and that labeling meets US organic and country-of-origin requirements. Consult a licensed customs broker or FSIS for current admissibility procedures.
