Import Tips
• Document breed and grass-fed status if claiming preferential treatment, but classification remains under 0202.10.50.90
• Use refrigerated containers maintaining below -18°C to preserve 'frozen' status and avoid reclassification to chilled
• Prepare for random USDA sampling at port for BSE/trichina testing common with bovine carcass imports
