Import Tips
• Obtain USDA FSIS prior approval and health certificates confirming fresh/chilled status (not frozen) to avoid reclassification
• Declare entire carcass weight including bones and skin as dutiable per US notes; no allowances for normal components
• Monitor country-specific poultry import quotas via USTR; provide cooling chain documentation to prevent spoilage claims
