Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain USDA FSIS prior approval and ensure product meets fresh/chilled temperature controls (below 40°F) to avoid reclassification as frozen
• Verify origin documentation as guinea fowl imports may face veterinary health certificates and slaughterhouse approvals; common pitfall is missing residue testing reports
• Declare entire weight including giblets if present; no allowance for bones or skin per US notes
