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
