Import Tips
• Monitor quarterly quota usage for New Zealand; coordinate with importers to stay within annual limits
• Use refrigerated containers maintaining 0-4°C; provide chain-of-custody docs to affirm fresh/chilled status
• Declare dutiable weight as entire half-carcass; normal shrink or trim not deductible
