Import Tips

• Use calibrated thermometers for chilling proof (32-40°F); deviations can trigger reclassification to frozen or spoiled goods

• Provide slaughterhouse certificates detailing processing steps to confirm 'spare ribs' status and avoid general 'other' pork duties

• Monitor USTR quota interactions for competing meats, ensuring accurate country-of-origin for smooth CBP clearance
