Import Tips
• Use veterinary certificates confirming boneless and sheep origin; avoid contamination issues at ports
• Monitor annual quotas (e.g
• 20k MT Argentina); excess requires special reporting numbers
• Dutiable weight includes fat/skin per US notes; pitfall is under-declaring for airtight packs
