Import Tips
• Obtain FSIS import permits and ensure temperature logs prove 'chilled' status under 7°C to avoid frozen classification
• Label with accurate species (guinea fowl) to prevent reclassification; common pitfall is generic 'poultry' marking
• No weight allowance for bones/fat per US note—declare full dutiable weight including packaging for canned-like entries
