Import Tips & Compliance

Verify country of origin quotas under US Note to Chapter 2, as swine meat imports face no aggregate limits unlike beef

Include entire weight including bone and fat per US Note; provide slaughter and cut certificates

Avoid misclassification as 'hams' (0203.19.20); document as picnic cut to prevent reclassification
