Import Tips
• Secure APHIS veterinary export certificates specifying guinea fowl species and chill chain integrity
• Avoid bulk packaging that could imply industrial use; retail packs may affect valuation but not heading
• Monitor for misclassification as duck/goose (0207.32/0207.35) due to visual similarities in unplucked form
