Last updated: August 2026 dataBeyond tongues and livers, frozen bovine offal encompasses a wide range of organs and parts — hearts, kidneys, brains, sweetbreads, lips, and other items — each with distinct end-use markets spanning food service, ethnic retail, and pharmaceutical ingredient sourcing. The US schedule breaks this residual category into seven 10-digit lines (0206290000 through 0206290090), allowing Customs to track specific organs separately. Australia leads US supply, with Canada, Mexico, Uruguay, and New Zealand also significant sources. All shipments require USDA FSIS reinspection, and certain organs — particularly brains — may face additional admissibility scrutiny related to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) risk management protocols.

Yes. Bovine brain imports are subject to BSE-related admissibility rules that restrict the age and origin of cattle from which the material may be sourced. Importers should verify that the exporting country's BSE risk status and the specific age-of-animal documentation comply with current FSIS and APHIS requirements before contracting.
Each organ type must be classified under its own 10-digit line — sweetbreads under 0206290040 and hearts under 0206290010. Mixed pallets should be itemized separately on the entry documentation, and the commercial invoice should clearly identify the organ type and weight for each line to facilitate accurate FSIS reinspection and duty assessment.
