Import Tips
• Provide detailed processing records (trim specs, chill chain logs) to CBP for classification verification
• Label clearly as 'processed bone-in' with weight including bone; avoid reclassification as primal cuts
• For USMCA, attach certificate of origin; watch for seasonal quota adjustments on non-qualifying countries
