Import Tips
• Maintain cold chain documentation (below 40°F for chilled) to prevent reclassification as frozen under 0204.42
• Label clearly as 'lamb shoulders' with bone content; U.S. notes disallow bone weight deductions in duty calculations
• Check USTR regulations for quota tracking, especially for high-volume suppliers like Australia, to avoid entry refusals
