U.S. imports of meat of horses, asses, mules & hinnies (fresh, chilled or frozen) (HS 020500) totaled $142K in July 2026, traded with 1 country.
Last updated: July 2026 dataEquine meat — covering horses, asses, mules, and hinnies in any temperature state — enters the US under a single 10-digit line (0205000000) and must clear USDA FSIS reinspection from an approved foreign establishment before release. Canada is the dominant supplier, reflecting its established equine slaughter infrastructure and geographic proximity. Domestic consumption of horse meat is negligible, so virtually all trade under this heading is driven by export demand or specialty ethnic markets. Importers should confirm that the originating establishment holds current FSIS equivalency approval, as lapses can halt shipments at the port.

No. The US schedule consolidates all temperature conditions — fresh, chilled, and frozen — into a single 10-digit line (0205000000), so no separate classification is needed based on the state of the product at time of entry.
The foreign establishment must appear on FSIS's list of approved facilities, and each shipment requires an official foreign inspection certificate. Upon arrival, FSIS conducts reinspection at the port of entry; shipments failing reinspection are refused entry or destroyed.
