U.S. imports of fresh or chilled edible bovine offal (HS 020610) totaled $22.8M in April 2026, traded with 8 countries.

Last updated: April 2026 data

Edible offal from cattle — including organs such as liver, kidneys, heart, and tripe — shipped fresh or chilled enters the US under a single tariff line (0206100000) and requires USDA FSIS reinspection from an approved foreign establishment. Mexico and Canada are the leading suppliers, reflecting the proximity advantage of North American sources for temperature-sensitive fresh and chilled product. Bovine offal is a high-value export commodity globally, with strong demand from Asian and Latin American markets, and US import volumes are shaped by domestic processing capacity and the relative value of offal in export versus domestic channels. Importers should ensure that each organ type is accurately described on commercial invoices, as FSIS labeling requirements apply at the product level.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does fresh bovine offal require any special cold-chain documentation beyond standard FSIS inspection certificates?

Yes. Because fresh and chilled offal is highly perishable, FSIS and CBP expect temperature logs or time-temperature records demonstrating continuous refrigeration from the foreign establishment through port arrival. Any evidence of temperature abuse can trigger detention or refusal. Importers should also confirm that the foreign establishment's FSIS approval specifically covers the offal types being shipped, as some approvals are product-specific.

How are different organ types within fresh bovine offal classified — are they all covered by 0206100000?

At the HS6 level, all fresh or chilled edible bovine offal falls under 020610, and the US schedule consolidates these into the single 10-digit line 0206100000 without further subdivision by organ type. However, commercial invoices should itemize each organ (e.g., liver, heart, tripe) separately for FSIS labeling compliance and accurate country-of-origin marking, even though the HTS classification does not change.
