Import Tips
• Confirm precise anatomical sourcing from chuck eye to prevent misclassification as flat iron or other cuts
• Maintain cold chain documentation to prove frozen state upon entry, avoiding reclassification to fresh meat
• Monitor quarterly quota usage for countries like Argentina (20,000 MT additional lean trimmings)
