Yes, frozen beef is subject to TRQ treatment, but the quota allocations and country-specific arrangements may differ from those applicable to fresh and chilled beef. Importers should check the specific tariff lines under 0202 and the relevant country-of-origin quota status before shipment, as in-quota and out-of-quota duty rates can differ substantially.

USDA FSIS requires that frozen beef arrive in a solidly frozen state and that temperature records accompany the shipment. If product is found to have thawed or partially thawed in transit, it may be subject to additional inspection or refusal of entry. Importers should ensure that bills of lading and temperature logs document continuous cold-chain maintenance from the approved foreign establishment to the US port.
