Import Tips

• Label clearly as 'loin chops' with primal cut diagrams to avoid disputes over 'other' classification

• Maintain cold chain documentation showing temperature logs to qualify as chilled, not frozen

• Check FSIS import permits; common pitfall is exceeding residue limits for antibiotics
