Import Tips
• Verify supplier complies with EU or origin force-feeding regulations if applicable; US importers need APHIS veterinary approval
• Maintain cold chain documentation to prove 'chilled' status (not frozen below -0.5°C); misclassification risk high
• Label accurately as 'fatty liver' to avoid reclassification as other edible offal
