Import Tips

Confirm Australian origin and quota availability via USTR tracking; Australia has high quota limits but first-come, first-served

Provide slaughterhouse certificates and temperature logs proving chilled condition to prevent reclassification as frozen

Label with full carcass details; customs weighs entire contents without deductions for inedible parts
