Import Tips
• Obtain APHIS import permit and ensure no quota exceedance for origin country (e.g
• 20,000 MT for New Zealand)
• Label precisely as 'half-carcass' to prevent misclassification; provide splitting diagrams if needed
• Avoid common pitfall of temperature fluctuations during transit that could deem it chilled
