Import Tips

Verify USDA APHIS import permit and health certification confirming the meat is from healthy Camelidae animals and fit for human consumption

Include documentation on origin country as no quantity limits apply unlike beef subheadings; declare full weight including unavoidable bones per US notes

Avoid common pitfalls like misclassifying as beef (0201-0202); ensure no bone allowance in duty assessment
