Import Tips
• Provide processing certificates showing trimming or portioning to justify 'processed' status and prevent downgrade to raw frozen pork
• Adhere to US notes on dutiable weight including bones/fat; label net drained weight if applicable for accurate declarations
• Ensure cold chain integrity with temperature logs to meet FDA/FSIS entry requirements and avoid spoilage claims
