Import Tips
• Provide veterinary certificates confirming disease-free status; kidneys are high-risk for contaminants like trichinella
• Use insulated containers to maintain frozen state during transit, as thawing could reclassify as chilled
• Label accurately as 'edible offal' to distinguish from inedible products excluded by chapter notes
