The U.S. has two official country codes: 840 and USA. The 840 code is given to animals wearing an identification device known as RFID. See ICAR for approved identification devices.
Country code ‘USA’ is allocated to animals that do not wear an RFID.
Both codes indicate the U.S. as country of origin; however the codes are not interchangeable.
Official lists of breed and country codes are referenced here. There can be differences, based on source of the ID and depending on use for international or domestic (U.S.) trade.
