Import Tips
• Label clearly as 'half-carcass' to avoid misclassification as primal cuts; use photos in entry docs
• Comply with APHIS import permit for animal products and ensure chain-of-custody for frozen temperature (-18°C)
• Monitor quarterly quota allocations if from quota-limited countries like Uruguay
