Import Tips
• Prove 'cut thereof' status with butcher diagrams; country-style ribs must derive from shoulder to avoid rib subheadings
• Ensure no hide/skin remnants as no duty allowance per US notes; use vacuum packaging for chilled integrity
• File with exact statistical suffix .10.20 and monitor annual swine import trends for licensing
