Import Tips & Compliance
ā¢ Label clearly as 'calf liver' distinguishing from mature beef liver; ensure USDA inspection equivalence for imports
ā¢ Check aggregate beef quotas if from quota-limited countries like New Zealand (213,402 MT); offal may count toward limits
ā¢ Use insulated shipping to maintain frozen state; temperature logs prevent reclassification as chilled (0206.12)
