Import Tips
• Provide lab analysis for species verification (DNA if needed) and moisture/protein content to confirm not adulterated
• Declare net weight of meat only; avoid including glaze weight which can trigger undervaluation claims
• Comply with Lacey Act declarations for species and harvest location to prevent seizures
