Import Tips
• Submit evidence of trimming (e.g
• weight loss certificates) to support processed classification over unprocessed ribs
• No allowance for bones/fat in duty weight per US notes; declare gross container weight accurately
• Pre-clear with APHIS for disease-free certification from exporting country
