Last updated: April 2026 dataFrozen variety meats from small ruminants and equines serve specialty food markets and ethnic cuisine segments where lamb liver, sheep kidney, and similar cuts are staple ingredients. USDA FSIS reinspection applies at the US port of entry regardless of frozen state, and the exporting establishment must appear on the FSIS-approved list for the relevant species. Equine offal within this heading — covering horses, asses, mules, and hinnies — faces heightened scrutiny because no equivalent domestic production exists, and importers must ensure species-specific health certificates accompany each shipment. Frozen product offers logistical advantages over fresh or chilled offal in this category, but classification must still correctly identify the species to avoid entry complications.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
No. Frozen edible offal from sheep, goats, and equines is subject to the same USDA FSIS port-of-entry reinspection as fresh or chilled product. The establishment of origin must be FSIS-approved, and all labeling and health certificate requirements remain in force.
Each species should be separately identified on the entry documentation. Mixed-species shipments may require species-specific health certificates for each component, and FSIS inspectors may examine each lot individually. Consulting a licensed customs broker and confirming FSIS requirements before shipment is strongly recommended.
