Import Tips

Verify entry falls within U.S. note 3 quota limits by country (e.g

378,214 MT from Australia); obtain USTR license

Include entire weight (bones, fat) in dutiable quantity; provide USDA import permit and health certification

Avoid misclassification as boneless (0201.30); common pitfall is incomplete origin documentation
