Last updated: July 2026 dataFrozen bone-in cuts of sheep and lamb — including shoulders (0204422010), legs (0204422020), and loins (0204422030) — are widely traded across foodservice, retail, and further-processing channels, with Australia and New Zealand together supplying the majority of US import volume. The US schedule distinguishes lamb from other sheep at the 10-digit level, and a separate line (0204424000) covers frozen bone-in sheep cuts other than lamb. All entries require USDA FSIS reinspection, and tariff-rate-quota treatment applies across the heading. Chile, Spain, and the United Kingdom are additional suppliers, providing origin diversification for buyers managing quota and supply-chain risk.

Line 0204422090 covers frozen bone-in lamb cuts not elsewhere specified (i.e., cuts other than shoulders, legs, and loins), while 0204424000 covers frozen bone-in sheep cuts that are not lamb — meaning older, non-lamb sheep. The distinction turns on the age/species of the animal, which must be documented by the exporting establishment.
Loins are a premium primal with higher per-unit value and more concentrated demand in upscale foodservice, while shoulders and legs are higher-volume cuts used across retail and further processing. Because each cut has its own 10-digit HTS line, importers must itemize mixed-cut shipments accurately on entry documentation to avoid classification disputes and potential penalties.
