Import Tips
• Verify USDA FSIS prior approval and health certificates; frozen poultry requires continuous cold chain documentation
• Include entire carcass weight for duty (bones/fat not deductible); check country-specific quotas via USTR
• Avoid misclassification as cut pieces (0207.14); ensure no portioning to prevent reclassification
