Import Tips
• Use statistical reporting numbers for quota tracking, especially Argentina lean trimmings under 0202.30.5097
• Document flash-freezing methods to meet USDA import requirements for pathogen control
• Avoid reclassification errors by specifying exact anatomy—shank mislabeled as round may trigger audits
