Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify origin country quota availability under General Note 15 before shipment; e.g

• Australia limited to 378,214 MT annually

• Obtain USDA FSIS import permit and health certificate confirming veal from calves under 3 months, pathogen-free

• Weigh entire carcass including bones/fat per US note; common pitfall is under-declaring dutiable weight
