U.S. exports of Fresh or Chilled Edible Bovine Offal (HS 020610) totaled $38.1M in August 2026.
Last updated: August 2026 dataFresh and chilled edible offal from cattle — including organs such as livers, kidneys, hearts, and tripe — is a temperature-sensitive product that requires unbroken cold-chain management from slaughter through port-of-entry USDA FSIS reinspection. Mexico and Canada are the leading suppliers, with Australia, Argentina, and New Zealand also contributing meaningfully, reflecting the geographic spread of FSIS-approved beef processing facilities. Demand is driven by ethnic retail markets, food-service operators, and pharmaceutical-grade sourcing. Because the product is fresh or chilled rather than frozen, transit time and cold-chain integrity are critical compliance and quality considerations.

852 import shipments a month
Fresh and chilled offal must arrive within the temperature range specified by FSIS regulations and the exporting country's equivalency agreement. FSIS inspectors verify temperature records and product condition during reinspection; product found out of temperature compliance may be refused entry.
Once admitted under the fresh/chilled classification, the product may be frozen domestically by the importer or processor. However, the HTS classification at entry is determined by the condition at the time of importation, not subsequent handling, so the entry must reflect the fresh/chilled state.
