Import Tips & Compliance

• Document air-chilling process to distinguish from water-chilled; affects yield and labeling claims

• Use refrigerated containers; CBP inspects for temperature compliance to confirm 'fresh/chilled' status

• Monitor USTR poultry import licenses; unlicensed entries face detention or duty escalation
