Import Tips

• Include frozen date and temperature logs in documentation to prove compliance with FDA freezing standards against parasites

• Separate from edible offal; mixtures may require 0303.91 classification, a frequent audit issue

• Use insulated containers to maintain chain of cold during transit, preventing duty-free thawed re-freeze claims
