Import Tips & Compliance

Confirm species documentation (Capra hircus) as goat meat shares heading with sheep but requires specific vet certs

Track aggregate quotas if from quota-limited countries; no limits for Canada/Mexico

Declare exact weight including bones; airtight container rules don't apply to fresh carcasses
