Import Tips
• Attach buyer letter of intent specifying mincing/grinding end-use to Customs for smooth clearance under this processing subheading
• Ensure cold chain integrity with temperature logs from -18°C or below to maintain frozen block status upon entry
• Avoid common pitfall of partial thawing/repacking, which could trigger reclassification as smaller pieces
