Import Tips
• Confirm species is not endangered (e.g
• avoid sea turtles under CITES Appendix I) with USFWS pre-clearance
• Use insulated packaging for frozen shipments to maintain cold chain and prevent reclassification as thawed/chilled
• Declare full weight including any bones, as no allowance is made per US notes on meat duties
