Import Tips
• Label clearly as 'lamb' with bone content; mislabeling as mutton risks reclassification and penalties
• Obtain veterinary certificates confirming frozen state and no disease per FSIS import requirements
• Monitor aggregate quotas for origins like New Zealand; excess may trigger higher duties under 9903 notes
