Import Tips

Verify entry under additional U.S. note 3 quota provisions; track aggregate quantities by country to avoid over-quota penalties

Include entire weight (meat + bone) in dutiable quantity; no deductions allowed per U.S. notes

Obtain USDA import permit and ensure sanitary certification; common pitfall is misclassifying as boneless
