Import Tips
• Provide slaughter and processing records compliant with 9 CFR 381; pitfall is inadequate chilling chain leading to spoilage claims at entry
• Label clearly as 'guinea fowl' to prevent confusion with ducks or geese; include country of origin for traceability
• Check for any country-specific poultry quotas indirectly via USTR regulations
