Import Tips
• Obtain USTR license for quota entry; track quarterly limits for Argentina lean trimmings if applicable
• Label precisely as 'hip cut' with muscle breakdown to match CBP specifications and avoid reclassification
• Refrigerate at 0-4°C during transit to maintain 'chilled' status; temperature logs prevent disputes
