Import Tips
• Use licensed customs broker familiar with meat quotas to track remaining U.S. note 3 allocations quarterly
• Include lab analysis for lean content if marketed as low-fat to support processing claim
• Avoid common pitfall of fat allowance miscalculation—no deductions for normal fat per U.S. notes
