Import Tips
• Lungs require special FSIS scrutiny for pneumonia lesions; reject rates are high without clean certs
• Document chain of custody from slaughter to freezing to prove edibility and avoid 0504 reclassification
• Check for EU or Asian origin restrictions due to disease history in swine herds
