Import Tips
• 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
