Import Tips
• Confirm 'loin cut' definition via CBP rulings; ensure primal breakdown matches hierarchy
• Label with country of origin and quota statistical number (e.g
• for Argentina lean trimmings if applicable)
• Avoid common pitfall of misclassifying as rib-end; precise anatomical labeling required
