Trade volumes under this code in U.S. import/export data are typically very low due to limited domestic demand and regulatory constraints on horse slaughter.

The duty rate for equine meat under HTS 0205000000 should be confirmed in the current USITC Harmonized Tariff Schedule. Historically, the rate has been relatively low, but practical import volumes are minimal due to regulatory and market factors.
Selling horse meat for human consumption in the U.S. faces significant barriers, including the effective absence of USDA-inspected horse slaughter facilities and state-level prohibitions in some jurisdictions, making commercial retail sales for human consumption practically nonexistent.
