Import Tips

Verify entry falls within Argentina's 20,000 metric ton quota under additional U.S. note 3; exceedance requires alternative provisions

Include veterinary certificates confirming freshness/chilled state (below 4°C) and freedom from disease per USDA/APHIS requirements

No duty allowance for bones, fat, or hide; declare full weight including normal components to avoid penalties
