Import Tips
• Verify the meat is fresh or chilled (not frozen) and includes bone in via USDA inspection certificates to avoid reclassification
• Include full container weight in dutiable calculations per US notes; no deductions for bones or fat
• Check country-specific beef quotas indirectly affecting pork supply chains and ensure FSIS prior approval
