Last updated: September 2026 dataFrozen edible offal from sheep (including lamb), goats, horses, asses, mules, and hinnies occupies a specialized niche in ethnic and specialty food markets, where variety meats such as liver, kidney, and tongue command distinct demand. The US tariff schedule separates sheep and lamb offal (0206900020) from all other frozen edible offal in this group (0206900040), a distinction that matters for quota and duty calculations. Australia and New Zealand dominate supply, reflecting their large sheep industries and established export infrastructure, with Mexico, Iceland, and Chile also contributing. All shipments require USDA FSIS reinspection at the port of entry from an approved foreign establishment before release into US commerce.

The schedule splits the heading into two 10-digit lines: 0206900020 covers offal of sheep (including lamb), while 0206900040 captures all other frozen edible offal not elsewhere specified — including goat, horse, and equine offal. Correct classification between these two lines affects duty liability and quota applicability.
Shipments must originate from a USDA FSIS-approved foreign establishment and be accompanied by a foreign government health certificate. Upon arrival, FSIS conducts reinspection at the port of entry. Importers should also verify that the exporting country has an FSIS-equivalent inspection system recognized by the US.
