Import Tips
• Verify animal health certificates and origin to comply with USDA import regulations and country-specific quotas (e.g
• Australia limited to 378,214 MT)
• Include full carcass weight in dutiable value; no deductions for bones or fat per Chapter 2 notes
• Ensure refrigeration chain documentation to prove 'fresh' status and avoid reclassification as chilled
