Import Tips

• Obtain import permit from USDA APHIS and ensure temperature logs confirm chilled state below 40°F to prevent spoilage claims

• Declare exact cut specifications and bone-in weight accurately, as no allowances for bones per US HTS notes on meats

• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling as 'ribs' without 'spare' specifier, which could lead to audit under general pork headings
