Import Tips
• 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
