Import Tips
• Verify origin country against U.S. beef/sheep quotas (e.g
• Australia up to 378k MT); exceedance requires special licenses
• Include USDA FSIS import permit and health certificates confirming fresh/chilled state and fitness for human consumption
• Weigh entire product including bone; no deductions allowed per Chapter 2 notes, avoiding common under-declaration pitfalls
