Import Tips
• Verify origin country against U.S. note 3 quotas (e.g
• 378,214 MT for Australia) via USDA certificates to avoid over-quota duties
• Include processing details in documentation; dutiable weight includes bones per U.S. notes—no allowances
• Obtain prior approval from USTR for quota entries; common pitfall is misclassifying trim level as unprocessed
