Last updated: April 2026 data

Australia and New Zealand dominate US imports under this heading, reflecting their large sheep industries and well-established export infrastructure for frozen lamb and mutton offal. The US schedule splits the heading into sheep and lamb offal (0206900020) and a residual NESOI line (0206900040) covering goats, horses, and other equines. Frozen sheep offal—including kidneys, livers, and tongues—is a key ingredient in halal food manufacturing and ethnic cuisine segments. USDA FSIS reinspection at an approved port is required for all shipments, and importers should confirm that the exporting establishment holds current species-specific FSIS approval.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do Australia and New Zealand account for such a large share of frozen sheep offal imports?

Both countries operate large-scale, export-oriented sheep processing industries with FSIS-approved establishments that have long supplied the US market. Their counter-seasonal production cycle relative to the Northern Hemisphere also helps smooth year-round availability of frozen product.

How does an importer classify frozen goat offal—does it fall under the sheep line or the NESOI line?

Frozen goat offal does not qualify for the sheep and lamb line (0206900020); it classifies under the NESOI line (0206900040). Importers should ensure the commercial invoice clearly identifies the species to avoid misclassification and potential FSIS documentation issues at the port of entry.
