Import Tips
• Check U.S
• Trade Representative quotas (e.g
• 213,402 MT Australia) before shipping to ensure entry eligibility
• Label clearly as 'frozen bovine carcass' and provide slaughter/processing certificates for CBP examination
• Avoid common pitfall of partial bone removal, which reclassifies to 0202.30 boneless subheading
