Import Tips
• Obtain CITES export permits since pythons are often Appendix II species, required for all reptile meat imports
• Provide veterinary health certificates from origin country affirming the meat is fit for human consumption
• Label clearly as 'fresh/chilled reptile meat' to prevent confusion with preserved products under different chapters
