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
