Import Tips
• Obtain USDA FSIS prior approval and health certificates verifying the meat is from healthy goats and fit for human consumption
• Declare exact weight including bone as per US note; no allowance for bones or fat in duty assessment
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as chilled (0204.43) which changes classification and potential quotas
