• Obtain USDA veterinary health certificate confirming fitness for slaughter and disease-free status
• Verify animal weighs at least 320 kg at entry; provide weigh certificates to avoid reclassification
• Comply with APHIS import permit requirements; common pitfall is incomplete disease testing documentation
