Rabbit and hare meat, along with their edible offal, occupies a distinct niche in US specialty and ethnic food markets, with product arriving fresh, chilled, or frozen depending on origin and transit distance. USDA FSIS oversees admissibility for rabbit meat and offal intended for human consumption, requiring that foreign establishments hold current FSIS approval and that shipments pass port-of-entry reinspection. Unlike poultry or red meat, rabbit is classified as a separate species category under FSIS regulations, and importers should confirm that the exporting country's inspection system has been recognized as equivalent for rabbit specifically — approval for beef or pork does not automatically extend to rabbit. Temperature condition at entry (fresh, chilled, or frozen) must match the declared classification.

Not automatically. USDA FSIS evaluates equivalence on a species-specific basis. A foreign establishment approved to export beef or pork does not automatically qualify to export rabbit meat or offal; the exporting country must have a separate equivalence determination covering rabbit, and the specific establishment must be listed as approved for that species.
Imported rabbit meat and offal must bear labels that identify the species, the country of origin, the establishment number, and the net weight. FSIS may also require specific handling and storage instructions. Importers should review current FSIS import labeling guidance and work with a licensed customs broker to ensure compliance before shipment.
