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
