Import Tips
• Maintain cold chain below 4°C for chilled status; temperature exceedance reclassifies as spoiled (non-dutiable under note (a))
• Declare exact primal cut origin; mislabeling as 'rib' vs 'plate' can trigger CBP reclassification
• Include full container weight in dutiable value per U.S. note on airtight containers
