Import Tips
• Verify origin country against USTR quotas (e.g
• 213,402 MT for Australia) to avoid excess duty under 9903 provisions
• Include full container weight in dutiable quantity per US notes; ensure USDA FSIS prior approval and health certificates
• Label accurately as 'lamb' (sheep under 1 year); mislabeling as mutton triggers reclassification and penalties
