Import Tips

Verify USMCA origin certification under general note 15 to qualify for duty-free entry; include bill of lading specifying '0201.20.04.00 processed'

Ensure processing (e.g

trimming) is documented via slaughter/processing certificates; dutiable weight includes bone per US notes

Monitor annual beef quotas for non-Canada/Mexico origins to avoid over-quota duties; common pitfall is mislabeling as boneless
